unable to mount target about iscsiinitiator HOT 11 CLOSED

Here is how I mount an iSCSI target in 10.11 running iSCSIInitiator build 44326ca:
sudo iscsictl add target mytarget,127.0.0.1:3260
sudo iscsictl login mytarget,127.0.0.1:3260
sudo iscsictl mount mytarget,127.0.0.1:3260

where 127.0.0.1:3260 is an ssh local tunnel.

from iscsiinitiator.

As an additional note, you shouldn't need to explicitly mount. It's there for convenience, in case a user needs to unmount/remount all volumes for a given target.

After login, volumes should be mounted automatically. If you're not seeing anything in finder, please check the OS X disk utility application to see if the drive shows up at all. If it does not show up, please look at the output of ioreg on the command-line and let us know what you see under iscsi. For example, with no targets connected, you should see:

...
 +-o com_github_iscsi_osx_iSCSIInitiator  <class com_github_iscsi_osx_iSCSIInitiator, id 0x1000003b1, regi$
      | +-o com_github_iscsi_osx_iSCSIVirtualHBA  <class com_github_iscsi_osx_iSCSIVirtualHBA, id 0x1000003ba, $
      |   +-o com_github_iscsi_osx_iSCSIInitiatorClient  <class com_github_iscsi_osx_iSCSIInitiatorClient, id 0$
...

With some targets connected, you should see additional entries. The output will help us with debugging if the targets do not show up.

So the first message is expected ("...cannot support additional..."); it looks like your'e connected to the target and only 1 connection is supported (logging in a second time will display that). The ioreg output tells me that the the OS X SCSI stack has detected the LUN and created a device for it. Do you see a disk that you can format in disk utility?

from iscsiinitiator.

Nope, nothing shows up. Neither under /dev/disk*

Any way I can debug this?

from iscsiinitiator.

I'm going to attempt to reproduce this using a virtual machine. Some information that would be helpful (if you have time to perform any of these steps that would helpful):

1. If you can provide us with a TCP dump that would be helpful (you can attach a file to a comment). You can use Wireshark to monitor traffic between your machine and the target. Alternatively, you can use tcpdump. If you can attach a packet dump showing all iSCSI traffic from the time you login for about 60 seconds, that would be very helpful.
2. Does the target or initiator drop the connection after > 60 seconds (or thereabouts) of being connected? There is a timeout built into the initiator that will quit (logout) if the target does not respond to a specific task for more than 60 seconds.
3. Provide a copy of the dmesg output (perhaps 60 seconds after you login). (i.e., sudo dmesg) should print iscsi diagnostic messages.
4. Do you have header or data digests enabled? If so, can you disable them and try again?

from iscsiinitiator.

I've attached a tcpdump, it wasn't running for all 60 seconds. This was while doing a mount. Please rename the attached .txt to .pcap

It just hangs.

from iscsiinitiator.

So the TCP dump does not contain much iSCSI traffic (was it run on the appropriate interface?). It also looks like it wasn't run long enough (I've attached a sample file shown what you would expect to see...)

Do you have information about the iSCSI target you're using? (I know it's backed by RBD and you're using SUSE, but is the target software IET, by any chance?)

Please let me know if you still experience these issues with the new beta release (with installer).
