I was on vacation...
Thank you for all the advise. But I think it's hard to play with this especially if one of your main application is running on unsupported os aix43.
I will however buy a new san and use the old san that is working right now with one of the aix43 server.
Play safe especially if you are serving 4k client all through out North America.

Hi everyone,
I wonder if I can canvas any opinions or thoughts (good or bad) on SAN attaching a SUN V880/490 to an EMC Clarion SAN?
At the moment the 880 is using 12 internal FC-AL disks as a db server and seems to be doing a pretty good job. It is not I/O, CPU or Memory constrained and the... (2 Replies)

tgt-admin
TGT-ADMIN(8) TGT Configuration Tool TGT-ADMIN(8)
NAME
tgt-admin - Linux SCSI Target Configuration Tool.
SYNOPSIS
tgt-admin -[OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
tgt-admin is a utility which allows a persistent configuration of targets and luns.
It uses tgtadm commands to create, delete and show targets.
OPTIONS
-e, --execute
read /etc/tgt/targets.conf and execute tgtadm commands.
if target already exists it will be deleted and a new instance will be created with the new parameters instead.
-d, --delete
delete all the targets
-s, --show
show all the targets
-f, --force
don't exit on tgtadm errors
-p, --pretend
only print tgtadm options
-v, --verbose
increase verbosity (no effect in "pretend" mode)
-c, --conf <conf_file>
specify an alternative configuration file instead of /etc/tgt/target.conf, which is the default.
-h, --help
display a list of available options and exits
CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX
The defualt configuration file is: /etc/tgt/target.conf. It defines all the targets and their properties.
The configuration file is in XML format and uses tags. Configuration file contains several target blocks, where each block contains tar-
get's proerties such as storage devices, initator ACL and authorization information. You can include other config files using:
include /etc/tgt/xen/*.conf.
There are 2 types of storage devices:
backing-store - defines a virtual device on the target.
direct-store - defines a direct mapped device with the same properties as the physical device (such as VENDOR_ID , SERIAL_NUM, etc.)
initiator-address - allows connections only from the specify IP address. defaults to ALL if no "initiator-address" is specified
incominguser - define iscsi incoming authentication setting. if no "incominguser" is specified, it is not used.
outgoinguser - define iscsi outgoing authentication setting. if no "outgoinguser" is specified, it is not used.
example for a configuration file:
<target iqn.2007-04.com.example:san.monitoring>
backing-store /dev/san/monitoring
# if no "incominguser" is specified, it is not used
incominguser backup secretpass12
# defaults to ALL if no "initiator-address" is specified
initiator-address 192.168.1.2 </target>
<target iqn.2007-02.com.example:san.xen1>
backing-store /dev/san/xen1-disk1 # LUN1
direct-store /dev/san/xen1-disk2 # LUN2
initiator-address 192.168.1.2 # Allowed IP
initiator-address 192.168.5.6 # Allowed IP
incominguser user1 secretpass12
incominguser user2 secretpass23
outgoinguser userA secretpassA </target>
<target iqn.2007-02.com.example:san.xen2>
backing-store /dev/san/xen2 </target>
<target iqn.2007-06.com.example:san.vmware1>
backing-store /dev/san/vmware1 </target>
FILES
/etc/tgt/target.conf
