Unable to connect to NetApp SAN using RHEL 4 and software iSCSI Initiator


I have a NetApp FAS960 filer that I'm using as an iSCSI SAN. I have six RHEL 4 Enterprise Server machines that are successfully connecting to it and one that is not. I'm using unique initiator names. The SAN is on a private network so I'm not using CHAP authentication or multipathing. I'm using the same iscsi.conf file in all hosts. I'm seeing the following error in my logs when I try to connect:

"Jul 11 10:04:59 lemay kernel: scsi: unknown device type 31"

This machine is configured exactly the same as all the other hosts. I'm at wits end. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

Sorry

This belongs under the Linux-Server section. I must have mis-clicked.

Check your hardware; swap the same cable with the other working machines first and test all hardware before you continue.

Did all of that. I can ping the SAN from the host and vise-versa.
