Linux iSCSI Offload FAQ
 Not all QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters support iSCSI offload.
 The iSCSI session will not recover after a hot remove and hot plug.
 For Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) to work properly, you must enable iSCSI
noopout on each iSCSI session. For procedures on setting up
noop_out_interval and noop_out_timeout values, refer to
Open-iSCSI documentation.
 In the scenario where multiple C-NIC devices are in the system and the
system is booted through the QLogic iSCSI boot solution, ensure that the
iscsi node under /etc/iscsi/nodes for the boot target is bound to
the NIC that is used for booting.
