Unable to enable iScsi

Hi All,I had the same issue and did the solution that was recommended by rye (Unable to enable iSCSI), but I'm still getting the same error.

Error #4000:exception 'OMVException' with message 'Failed to execute command 'export LANG=C; invoke-rc.d 'iscsitarget' start 2>&1': Starting iSCSI enterprise target service:FATAL: Module iscsi_trgt not found.failed!invoke-rc.d: initscript iscsitarget, action "start" failed.' in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/initscript.inc:176Stack trace:#0 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/initscript.inc(141): OMVSysVInitScript->invoke('start')#1 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/initscript.inc(61): OMVSysVInitScript->start()#2 /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/module/iscsitarget.inc(91): OMVSysVInitScript->exec()#3 /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/config.inc(206): OMVModuleIscsiTarget->startService()#4 [internal function]: OMVRpcServiceConfig->applyChanges(Array, Array)#5 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpcservice.inc(125): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)#6 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpcservice.inc(158): OMVRpcServiceAbstract->callMethod('applyChanges', Array, Array)#7 /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/config.inc(224): OMVRpcServiceAbstract->callMethodBg('applyChanges', Array, Array)#8 [internal function]: OMVRpcServiceConfig->applyChangesBg(Array, Array)#9 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpcservice.inc(125): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)#10 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc.inc(79): OMVRpcServiceAbstract->callMethod('applyChangesBg', Array, Array)#11 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(500): OMVRpc::exec('Config', 'applyChangesBg', Array, Array, 1)#12 {main}Just wondering of where should i go next. cheers

here's the output.

When you mentioned Jessie, did you meant datadigger on this reply?
===================================================================
apt-get install devscripts equivs build-essential
apt-get install iscsitarget
apt-get install iscsitarget-dkms

These next two steps are possibly not needed if there's another way to get the sources on the box, but
I found it pretty convenient
apt-get install subversion
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/iscsitarget/code iscsitarget
(Attention: This command puts the sources into a subdirectory named iscsitarget whereever you have started the command from. So it is a good idea to run that from a place like /home)

cd to iscsitarget/trunk
make
make install

============================================================

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to linux, please let me know the outcome of your talk with rye.

Cheers and much appreciated

Saying that though, I've installed a fresh 0.5.48 on another microserver and was able to enable the iscsi.

here's the output
root@GEN7OMV:~# lsmod | grep iscsi
iscsi_trgt 69353 3

any thoughts?

Zitat von subzero79

Iscsi from from Jessie is on the repo server, delete the plugin,Also delete the installed packages of iscsitarget.

proceed with the install again this time it should work.

thanks Subzero.
I've used commands given by ryeaaron from the other thread yesterday to remove and re-install, but it didn't work, do you want me to do this again now? -->

apt-get purge iscsitarget
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
apt-get install openmediavault-iscsitarget

Is this what I need to do to delete plugin and re-install iscsi package?

Thanks

whist I was purging iscsi-dkms, this came up
-------- Uninstall Beginning --------
Module: iscsitarget
Version: 1.4.20.2
Kernel: 3.2.0-4-rt-amd64 (x86_64)
-------------------------------------

I thought my kernel is 3.16, but it seems to think that it has 3.2

is this why it's not working?

yes, did uninstall it

I did the following

apt-get purge iscsitarget
apt-get purge openmediavault-iscsitarget
apt-get purge iscsitarget-dkms
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean

then i re-installed it via web gui
but unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error.

thanks Aaron, I thought the dkms was the kernel.

I will try and let you know.

Thanks again for your help

Hi Aaron,

unfortunately, still the same error

here's the verbose logs during the install via web gui, saw an error on iscsi during the installation..
