1 HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator Release Notes Announcement The HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator is a software implementation of the iSCSI protocol (RFC 3720) based on the HP-UX host TCP/IP stack. The iSCSI protocol defines a mass storage transport wedge between TCP and the SCSI Services layer. The HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator is compliant with RFC 3720. To access the IETF iSCSI Specification RFC 3720, go to: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3720.
Limitations The following information is for revision B.11.11.03f of the HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator: • iSCSI usage of IPSec is supported on HP-UX, however, the HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator has not been tested with IPSec due to the lack of iSCSI targets that support IPSec. Support of IPSec with the HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator is dependent on the availability of iSCSI targets that support IPSec and target vendor testing of the HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator with those targets.
• Problem: LVM Volume Group (VG) activation failure error messages are displayed during system startup. iSCSI Physical Volumes (PVs) are network dependent devices, which are not accessible until the network subsystem is initialized. Attempts during system startup (prior to network initialization) to activate VGs that include an iSCSI PV, generate VG activation failure error messages.
