Microsoft 2.05 iSCSI initiator causes panic and reboot (see details below).

Impact

The NAS head will panic and reboot.

The purpose of this FAB is to notify the field of the potential issue regarding the use of Microsoft's iSCSI initiator over bonded links.

Contributing Factors

This issue has only been seen with the Microsoft 2.05 iSCSI initiator during connection re-establishment.

Symptoms

The NAS head will panic and reboot. The dbglog on the machine should have a stack trace that looks similar to the following:

  eip 07BD3201  eflags 00010256 ..R...I..ZAP.  vec 0E Page Fault
eax 00000000  ebx 07B40018  ecx 003C97B6  edx 0FCB2440
edi 0852AC90  esi 07B40000  ebp 00FBDE68  esp 00FBDE10
7BD3201 movb   0x6C(%eax),%al     8A406C       iscsiTarget.wscsi_do_inquiry+505

STACK TRACE:

0xFBDE98 iscsiTarget.wscsi_do_inquiry+269(FCB2440 852AC90 7BF2C2C 7BB2FC6)

0xFBDFC8 iscsiTarget.target_worker_t+2CD(7BF2C2C DF5F14 80 769F000)
0xFBDFF8 thread_launcher+0x34(FC6000 0 1155A0 FC5F0C)

Root Cause

A SCSI inquiry command received from the Microsoft iSCSI initiator does not contain a LUN number which matches any of the LUN numbers currently stored on the NAS. This causes an indexing error which leads to a page fault.

The code has been modified to prevent the indexing error by defaulting to LUN number zero (0) when a SCSI inquiry command is received without a valid LUN number.

The issue will be resolved with the release of StorageTek NAS OS version 4.22 M0.

Workaround

If using Microsoft's iSCSI initiator v2.05, do not establish iSCSI connections to the NAS over bonded links.

Resolution

Upgrade NAS OS to release 4.22 M0, which can be acquired via the below links;
