In waiting, I tried CentOS 8 which was an even bigger bust. I wiped that clean and tried again with Fedora 31. Same darn error "Could not create Target in configFS".

 

Anyone??

A few additional points.

 

In the kernel config:
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y

 

Kernel:
4.4.207-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

 

Should I be able to create a directory in /sys/kernel/config/target/qla2xxxx?
# mkdir naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’: Invalid argument

 

I did notice that when I rebooted, there was no qla2xxx folder in /sys/kernel/config/target/ but after trying to use targetcli, it did make one so I'm not sure what else would cause it to fail.

I’ve been working on this for a couple days and getting nowhere.

I posted this in as an issue on Github but saw there’s a mailing list too and figured I’d try this as well.

 

I installed targetcli via yum on CentOS 7 and this is the version in the repo:
# targetcli
targetcli shell version 2.1.fb49
Copyright 2011-2013 by Datera, Inc and others.
For help on commands, type 'help'.

 

I downloaded the .zip of the targetcli-fb version and tried it too from the scripts folder and same results.

Python:
# python --version
Python 2.7.5

 

The error comes up when using create.
/> /qla2xxx create naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Could not create Target in configFS

 

Below is the info on my FC
/> qla2xxx/ info
Fabric module name: qla2xxx
ConfigFS path: /sys/kernel/config/target/qla2xxx
Allowed WWN types: naa
Allowed WWNs list: naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fabric module features: acls
Corresponding kernel module: tcm_qla2xxx

 

I have attached the log but don't see anything that really stands out. 

I checked per the link http://www.linux-iscsi.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel#Enable_target_mode to ensure that I have initiator mode disabled

# cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/qlini_mode
disabled

 

The kernel modules are loaded.
# lsmod | grep qla2xxx
tcm_qla2xxx 32768 1
target_core_mod 335872 4 tcm_qla2xxx,iscsi_target_mod
qla2xxx 634880 1 tcm_qla2xxx
scsi_transport_fc 65536 3 bfa,qla2xxx,tcm_qla2xxx

 

configfs is mounted:
# cat /proc/mounts | grep configfs
configfs /sys/kernel/config configfs rw,relatime 0 0

 

Does the error suggest it cannot access the configFS path?

Suggestions?

 

 

Thank you,
