The HP-UX Support Tool Manager (STM) has been modified so a user can select the iSCSI virtual node entries in the STM map. However, when iSCSI devices are selected, all of the tools are grayed-out (not available).

The HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator works with HP-UX Event Monitoring Services (EMS) and the Support Tools Manager (STM). By default, the iSCSI Software Initiator logs all diagnostic messages to the STM log files. STM can be used to view the diagnostic messages logged in the STM log files.

EMS can be configured to automatically notify the system administrator when diagnostic messages are logged by the iSCSI Software Initiator.

In addition to logging all diagnostic messages to the STM log files, the iSCSI Software Initiator logs some of the diagnostic messages to the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. For more details on diagnostic messages, see Appendix C “Diagnostic Messages”.

If a problem cannot be resolved using the troubleshooting techniques listed in this chapter, provide the log file generated by the iscsidiag tool to HP Support.

iscsidiag is an iSCSI Software Initiator debug information gathering tool.

Execute /opt/iscsi/bin/iscsidiag  to capture the debug information.

The logfile will be placed in the /tmp/iscsidiag directory with a filename of: iscsidiag.<pid>.log

If you want to place the log file in an alternate directory, invoke iscsidiag as: /opt/iscsi/bin/iscsidiag -t <directory_name>

Provide the log file  iscsidiag.<pid>.log  to HP Support for further assistance. The log file will be located at the default location (/tmp/iscsidiag) or at an alternate location, if an alternate location has been specified using the -t option.
