(Target failed to respond in time for a logout request) - - - Two Node's Iscsi initiator is not able to connect simultaneoulsy

    Question

  • Environment

    OS = Windows 2003R2

    Iscsi initiator = 2.0.8

    Microsoft Iscsi Target = 3.3

    Error in event viewer = Target failed to respond in time for a logout request. Source iScsiPrt, Event ID 44

    Problem

    I have two systems with Win2003 R2 installed with Iscsi initiator 2.0.8. One Iscsi initiator is connected with the target but when I connect the second system, the system is not able to connect and giving me login error mentioned above. I disconnect the connected system(The system which is connected with windows target) and connect the system which is failing to connect with the windows target, this time the failing system able to connect with windows target.

    My workaround

    The system which is connected with the windows target, I restarted it. While restarting the system, I connect the other system which then connected successfully. Now this time when both systems are up and running both system's iscsi initiator is connected with Windows target.


    Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

  • 1) Do you have anything inside Event Long on a system with a target you're trying to connect to?

    2) Try using other initiator and target to isolate the issue: is it Microsoft software stack or is it anything related to actual network config?

    Good luck!
