Bug #4541
openCreation or Removal of iscsi target portal groups results with return code that is invalid
0%
Description
In my attempts to learn what could go wrong with iSCSI target and TPG creation I observed that when there is an issue with saving configuration, we could return code that is not a valid retcode. In this example I am trying to delete a valid tpg, and get a configuration error, but I think because the retcode is actually looking like a size of something than a retcode, shell is not reporting the command as a failure.
# itadm delete-tpg -f t0003; echo $? Configuration change failed: unknown error itadm delete-tpg failed with error 32768 0
With truss:
Configuration change failedwrite(2, " C o n f i g u r a t i o".., 27) = 27 : write(2, " : ", 2) = 2 unknown errorwrite(2, " u n k n o w n e r r o".., 13) = 13 write(2, "\\n", 1) = 1 itadm write(2, " i t a d m ", 6) = 6 create-tpgwrite(2, " c r e a t e - t p g", 10) = 10 failed with error write(2, " f a i l e d w i t h".., 19) = 19 32768write(2, " 3 2 7 6 8", 5) = 5 write(2, "\\n", 1) = 1 _exit(32768)

While this issue occurs, the following is logged, suggesting a problem with SMF. I should note that in fact TPG does get created and removed correctly, but the issue persists. Also of note, I am testing limits, and so have over 3000 tpgs defined. However, that should have nothing to do with how itadm reports failure to outside world.
