[Lustre-discuss] Lustre 1.8.1 and ISCSI Kernel support

[Arne Wiebalck]

Hi Hindisvik,

iSCSI support is switched off in the lustre kernels, but it should
be available from the kernel-ib package, see this thread:

http://lists.lustre.org/pipermail/lustre-discuss/2009-July/011068.html

I tried that with 1.8.0, but did not succeed: the iSCSI modules could 
not be loaded, so I compiled my own kernel in the end.

I did not check with 1.8.1, but if you succeed I would be very 
interested to know.

HTH,
  Arne
