New CentOS install, same md3000i (fwd)

[Scott R. Ehrlich]

I've received a few emails asking how I am establishing the iscsi 
connection.  I also wish to point out, for clarification, the server is a 
PE2950.

I am using CentOS 5.2's included Open ISCSI tools.   The install itself is 
out-of-box, no patches or updates.

The only difference I can think of is Dell includes their own iscsid.conf 
file to replace the default in /etc/iscsi/.

Thanks again for any insights/help.

Scott

Subject: New CentOS install, same md3000i

I've reinstalled CentOS 5.2 on the server my md3000i is connected to, 
reinstalled MDSM, logged in, and MDSM properly shows the configuration as it 
was on the device before the OS reinstall.

I try fdisk -l and only the server's partitions are showing.

A review of /var/log/messages shows the device, but does not present the 
partitions I created on it before the OS reinstall.

As an aside, I changed the static IPs of the management and iscsi ports, and 
have respective NICs in the server configured for the network changes.
I mention this because /var/log/messages claims 192.168.13w.xyz can't be 
reached, which is true, because I changed the IP addresses on the server.

So, how do I

- quelch the IP problem?

- regain access to the partitions on the md3000i?


Thanks.
