[storage-discuss] Help with ISCSI Target

[Mark]

Hello,

I'd like to add my observations to the discussion here.  I'm having the same issues with globalSAN as cmack.  I'm running globalSAN 3.3.0.35 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.2.

My OpenSolaris Target is: 

# uname -a
SunOS athena 5.11 snv_79a i86pc i386 i86pc

# isainfo -kv
64-bit amd64 kernel modules

I created an iSCSI target through a zfs create command:

# zfs create -V 300G -o shareiscsi=on tank/TimeMachine

When I point globalSAN at the iSCSI machine (through the portal tab) it doesn't find the target device.  GlobalSAN does automatially find the target device if I point it at a FreeBSD iSCSI system.  So, I had to enter the target manually.  I press the "Log On..." button and globalSAN reports a connection; however, iscsitadm does not report the connection.  Drive utility on the Mac doesn't show the device connected.

I believe the above paragraph is pretty much in lock step with cmack's issues.  However, if you leave the system sit for about 30-40 minutes, the device does appear in the Disk Utility.  Any attempts to manipulate the volume (including ejecting) results in timeouts and lockups.

I don't know if that helps the debugging process, or if it just adds flotsam to the discussion.

HTH!

Regards,
Mark
