Release Notes

Installation

• Install SXCE or OpenSolaris build 112 or later

Target configuration

• On the target enable the COMSTAR iSCSI SMF service:

    # svcs -a 
    disabled       10:17:46 svc:/network/iscsi/initiator:default
    disabled       10:17:51 svc:/system/iscsitgt:default
    disabled       10:17:58 svc:/network/iscsi/target:default
    # svcadm enable -r iscsi/target
    # svcs | grep iscsi
    online         10:17:58 svc:/network/iscsi/target:default

NOTE: Do not enable svc:/system/iscsitgtd:default.  The "-r" flag on the svcadm command tells SMF to enable dependencies as well which in this case will enable svc:/system/stmf:default if it is not already enabled.

• After installing iscsit there will be no iSCSI targets defined.  To create a target:

    # itadm create-target

To look at the new target:

    # itadm list-target
    1 Target(s) found
    
    Target: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:80c3a500-ff15-e656-aee3-bc63d49b449d
    # stmfadm list-target
    Target: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:80c3a500-ff15-e656-aee3-bc63d49b449d
        Operational Status: Online
        Provider Name     : iscsit
        Alias             : -
        Sessions          : 0
    #

The IQN will be different but similar since it is generated for the UID of
the target host system.

You can list the active connections along with their associated transport type by running this command:  echo "::iscsi_conn" | mdb -k

Initiator Configuration

• Configurating the initiator using SendTargets

    # iscsiadm add discovery-address <target IP address>
    # iscsiadm modify discovery -t eanble

• Configuration the initiator using static config

On the initiator system (assuming Solaris):

    # iscsiadm modify discovery -t disable
    # iscsiadm add static-config iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:80c3a500-ff15-e656-aee3-bc63d49b449d,<target IP address>

( Modify IQN above to match the automatically generated IQN on the target)

    # iscsiadm modify discovery -s enable

• At this point if there are any COMSTAR luns defined with unrestricted views (stmfadm add-view <GUID>) these luns should be visible to the initiator.  If you need to create a lun follow the instructions here:
