This article provides information on what to do if a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 using native open-iSCSI time outs after an iSCSI load balancing request.
Modify the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
To improve this situation, there are two modifications that can be made to the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.
- If your discovery is password protected, provide the authentication information to iscsid by adding your password information for the discovery to the end of /etc/iscsid.conf file
- discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP
- discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = <username>
- discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = <password>
- Then add the following 2 new entries to give a little wiggle room with connection timeouts on load balancing activities.
- node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 10
- node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 30
