iSCSI errors MSiSCSI Event ID 113 and TCP Transport errors in Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Data Center in a Cluster Shared Volume configuration.
installed 10gig dell broadcom bcm57711 nic in our dell r805 server. server running windows 2008 r2 sp1 data center in 2 node (csv), cluster shared volume configuration. connect our storage array via iscsi initiator, have scvmm 2008 r2 running on server manage our hyper-v vm's.
we started getting msiscsi event id 113 after bringing nic online iscsi. noticed when went iscsi initiator , ran discovery portal , used 10gig nic got tcp transport error.
the fix follows;
- document current nic settings in properties tab each nic.
- apply hotfix 2684681, , 2685007.
- apply latest broadcom nic drivers, update nic bios.
- install dell bacs nic configuration software.
- make sure no nics appear in storage controller area of device manager, if present remove them.
- disable offload , rss settings on properties tab each nic.
- using dell bacs disable iscsi support nics.
- disable offloading in windows os below netsh commands.
- netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
- netsh int tcp set global netdma=disabled
- netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
- netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=none
- edit registry, create registry entry in hkey_local_machine, system, currentcontrolset, services, tcpip, parameters. add dword enabletcpa , set it's value 0.
- apply service pack 1 scvmm or kb2492980.
- reboot.
- once rebooted iscsi discovery portal wizard not have selection other default in advanced tab not able select 10gig creating tcp transport error. there appears no reason able select nic, , default settings work fine.
sorry, not sure.
in nutshell: settings expected kill performance.
