Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated iscsi-initiator-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The iscsi-initiator-utils package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI
protocol, as well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a
protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet
Protocol networks.
This updated iscsi-initiator-utils package fixes the following bug:
- removing the bnx2i module from the kernel, or running ifdown on the
network interface being used by the bnx2i driver, and then reloading the
kernel module or running ifup, did not result in automatic reconnection to
SCSI sessions. As a workaround, the iscsid service had to be stopped and
then restarted. With this update, SCSI sessions are automatically
reconnected to after removing and reloading the bnx2i kernel module, or
bringing the network interface down and then up again with ifdown and ifup.
(BZ#549629)
All users of iscsi-initiator-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this issue.
