iscsi - iSCSI software initiator driver
DESCRIPTION
The iscsi driver is a software initiator that transports SCSI commands over TCP/IP as described in RFC 3720. The initiator is administered
through iscsiadm(1M). The iscsi initiator acts as a host adapter driver that attaches the appropriate target driver (for example sd(7D) for
disks or st(7D) for tapes) for devices it discovers. See the System Administration Guide for more information.

ISCSI_INITIATOR(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ISCSI_INITIATOR(4)NAME
iscsi_initiator -- kernel driver for the iSCSI protocol
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device iscsi_initiator
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
iscsi_initiator_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The iscsi_initiator implements the kernel side of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) network protocol standard. The userland companion is
iscontrol(8), and permits access to remote virtual SCSI devices via cam(4).
SYSCTL VARIABLES
debug.iscsi_initiator set the debug-level, 0 means no debugging, 9 for maximum.
net.iscsi.isid the initiator part of the Session Identifier.
The following are informative only:
net.iscsi.driver_version the current version of the driver.
net.iscsi.sessions the number of current active sessions.
net.iscsi.n.targetname the target name of session n.
net.iscsi.n.targedaddress the IP address of the target of session n.
net.iscsi.n.stats statistics for session
net.iscsi.n.pid the process id of the userland side of session n, see iscontrol(8).
FILES
The iscsi_initiator driver creates the following:
/dev/iscsi used to create new sessions.
/dev/iscsi%d for each new session.

Hi,
I have an iSCSI LUN of 200GB. I increased it to 250GB and when I try to increase the size of the vg, I'm getting an error that none of the volumes have increased in size.
How can I get the OS to see the additional 50GB?

Hi,
I need to set up iscsi LUN on Solaris 9. I've done it on Solaris 10 with iscsiadm. How do you do it on Solaris 9 though? Currently using Solaris 9 update 2. Your help is appreciated.

We "lose" the iscsi device after a reboot - i.e., it appears in /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk but format cannot find it. Obviously, it won't mount either. This happens for two separately defined luns.
We must be missing a step in iscsiadm.
The luns are defined as targets, we can see them in... (2 Replies)

Hello,
Looking for some guidance to changing how an AIX 6.1 server sees its luns. Presently they're connected via 1GB iscsi but I want to change it to 4GB fiber channel. Anyone done this before and if so is it an easy step?
