If you want to switch back to use the software initiator, enter the following:
iscsiadm -m iface -I <iface_file_name> -n iface.transport_name -v
tcp -o update
Where the iface file includes the following information:
iface.net_ifacename = ethX
iface.iscsi_ifacename = <name of the iface file>
iface.transport_name = tcp
VLAN Configuration for iSCSI Offload (Linux)
iSCSI traffic on the network may be isolated in a VLAN to segregate it from other
traffic. When this is the case, you must make the iSCSI interface on the adapter a
member of that VLAN.
To configure the iSCSI VLAN, add the VLAN ID in the iface file for iSCSI. In the
following example, the VLAN ID is set to 100.
#Begin Record 6.2.0-873.2.el6
Iface.iscsi_ifacefile name = <>
Iface.ipaddress = 0.0.0.0
Iface.hwaddress = <>
Iface.trasport_name = bnx2i
Iface.vlan_id = 100
Iface.vlan_priority = 0
Iface.iface_num = 100
Iface.mtu = 0
Iface.port = 0
#END Record
NOTE
Although not strictly required, QLogic recommends configuring the same
VLAN ID on the iface.iface_num field for iface file identification
purposes.
