Installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 via iSCSI Boot From SAN or Boot from Local Hard Disk with the HPE iSCSI driver (be2iscsi) using the network adapters listed in the Scope section, will cause the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 installation to stop responding. The following timeout error messages are displayed in /var/log/messages or dmesg: [ 11.472173] scsi host0: Emulex 10Gbe open-iscsi Initiator Driver [ 11.472542] scsi host0: BM_5276 : port online: 0x11 [ 121.820072] scsi host0: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 121.820418] scsi host0: BG_1105 : MBX CMD get_boot_target Failed [ 232.412059] scsi host0: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 343.004043] scsi host0: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 351.556178] scsi host1: Emulex 10Gbe open-iscsi Initiator Driver [ 351.556567] scsi host1: BM_5276 : port online: 0x11 [ 461.788046] scsi host1: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 461.788403] scsi host1: BG_1105 : MBX CMD get_boot_target Failed [ 572.380044] scsi host1: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 682.972048] scsi host1: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 691.532136] scsi host2: Emulex 10Gbe open-iscsi Initiator Driver [ 691.532530] scsi host2: BM_5276 : port online: 0x11 [ 801.756026] scsi host2: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 801.756371] scsi host2: BG_1105 : MBX CMD get_boot_target Failed [ 912.348040] scsi host2: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 1022.940008] scsi host2: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 1031.492140] scsi host3: Emulex 10Gbe open-iscsi Initiator Driver [ 1031.492529] scsi host3: BM_5276 : port online: 0x11 [ 1141.724023] scsi host3: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 1141.724369] scsi host3: BG_1105 : MBX CMD get_boot_target Failed [ 1252.316005] scsi host3: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 1362.908008] scsi host3: BC_285 : MBX Cmd Completion timed out [ 1362.908516] Device driver be2iscsi initialization / probe took 1359996 ms to complete, report this
Any HPE system installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 via iSCSI Boot From SAN or Boot from Local Hard Disk with the HPE iSCSI driver (be2iscsi) using the network adapters: HPE StoreFabric CN1200E-T Adapter (iSCSI) HP StoreFabric CN1200E 10Gb Converged Network Adapter (iSCSI) HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter (iSCSI) HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650M Adapter (iSCSI)
This occurs due to MSI-X not getting enabled on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 with the new API changes and fails back to INTX which is not working with the HPE 10/20GbE iSCSI devices listed in the Scope section. Therefore, the driver is not receiving interrupts causing the driver to stop responding on the return of MSI-X call. The software on Blade System Network Adapters that are experiencing this issue is no longer supported. As a workaround, use the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 inbox driver.
