rootfs/PE image deletionOn CSM 1.7 cluster, where compute/UAN nodes are booted with iSCSI SBPS,
if any rootfs/PE images are deleted say if some of these images are unused,
then worker nodes may hang or become unresponsive due to flood of following
messages in the worker nodes dmesg.
[Fri Nov 7 15:06:12 2025] TARGET_CORE[iSCSI]: Detected NON_EXISTENT_LUN Access for 0x0000000a from iqn.2023-06.csm.iscsi:x1102c5s6b1n0
When the rootfs/PE images are deleted, the iSCSI SBPS marshal agent deletes corresponding
iSCSI Luns and fileio backing store while it scans IMS/s3 every 180 secs. So once the iSCSI
Luns are deleted from the iSCSI target (worker node), the corresponding iSCSI Luns on the
iSCSI initiator (compute/UAN) node become stale and iSCSI initiator software looks for
corresponding Luns on the iSCSI target (worker) node repeatedly and above flood of messages
mentioned in the ‘symptom’ will be seen in the dmesg of worker nodes.
To fix this issue, we need to cleanup these stale iSCSI Luns on the iSCSI initiator. Run the
script Remove stale iSCSI Luns
to delete stale iSCSI Luns from the iscsi initiator(s).
