1) AIX Supports iSCSI. If FreeNAS utilizes the iSCSI protocol, than it can be used.
2) see first answer
3) check your system to see if the iscsi drivers are installed, if they are not you can install them from CD or download them from IBM's website.
I have a standard template I deploy for each of my AIX servers. It's in a mksysb format which I pulled via the nim server after I originally set it up.
I'm trying to restore this mksysb over the wire to a remote system. The remote system is an lpar running under vio (no HMC attached). The disk... (1 Reply)
Can you have a Dynamic LPAR without VIO and if yes is there a benefit to having both? I am attempting to implement VIO and Resource pooling at my company and want to understand the limitations.
Also, I have been told the managing and allocation of the Logical Volumes is a time consuming task as... (0 Replies)
We have a frame the uses 2 vios that assign disk storage to LPAR's. We have a LPAr with multiple disk and I want to know how do I tell which vio is serving the disk. For example the LPAr has hdisk 0, 1, 2, 3 all the same size. I want to know which vio is serving hdisk0, 1. (4 Replies)
VIO Server is managing both AIX Clients and Linux Clients. For AIX Clients, we could do a disk mapping from slot numbers to VIO and also uname -L to determine the lparid and serial number frame its running on.
From a Linux Client,
How do I know which IBM frame its running on? Any command to... (4 Replies)
I am wondering if there is a command I can run from **with-in** LPAR server (server01) to find out the hostname or IP address or other parameters for VIO server in charge of server01? (1 Reply)
Just a question which may seem dumb to some out there, but then again I am not a super technie so that's my excuse.
Is it possible to say provision a test AIX LPAR (has a 10gb boot lun and 20gb data) under a VIO which has connectivity to SAN Array A so it can see the disks provisioned to it,... (2 Replies)
Previous forum threads have noted that AIX cannot use iSCSI disks because it fails when trying to add them to a volume group using mkvg. The failure is caused by AIX's use of the SCSI "WRITE AND VERIFY"(0x2e) command which some iSCSI targets do not support.
We experienced the same problem using... (1 Reply)
Hi All,
I've been trying to create a new LPAR for some days now but I can't get the VIO server to recognize the new LPAR. This is what I did:
On HMC create new LPAR
On HMC create new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR in VIO profile
On HMC add new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR with DLPAR... (6 Replies)
I am using Windows Server 2008R2 as a domain controller to 2 other servers and would like to use my Dell Powervault 770N as my NAS for data storage. I have FC that I would like to implement between the servers and the NAS (as an iSCSI target). I am brand new to this world; is this possible? I am... (2 Replies)
:wall::wall::wall:
1. I have created an LPAR in the HMC.
2. I have allocated the storage from an Hitachi AMS2500 and assigned it to the host group.
3. I have zoned the LPAR and Storage on a Brocade 5100. (The zone sees the AMS)
Next I activated the LPAR in the HMC, SMS mode for the mksysb... (3 Replies)

TGTD(8) [FIXME: manual] TGTD(8)NAME
tgtd - The SCSI Target Daemon
SYNOPSIS
tgtd
tgtd [-C --control-port <INTEGER>] [-d --debug <INTEGER>] [-f --foregound] [-h --help] [--iscsi <...>]
DESCRIPTION
Tgtd is a SCSI Target daemon. It can be used to provide SCSI target service to a network. The most common service is iSCSI but other
services are also supported.
DEVICE TYPES
Tgtd provides support for both emulated and passthrough of real devices.
Tgtd can emulate the following types of devices:
disk : Normal disk device. Emulates a SCSI harddisk.
tape : Tape device. Emulates a SCSI tape drive.
cd : CD device. Emulates a SCSI DVD burner.
changer : Media changer. Emulate the changer device for a virtual tape library or DVD jukebox.
OPTIONS -d --debug <INTEGER>
Set to non-zero value to activate additional debugging messages to be logged.
-f --foreground
Run the daemon in the foreground.
-h --help
Print help text to the screen.
-C --control-port <INTEGER>
This comamnd is used to specify the control port to use for this instance of tgtd. This allows to run multiple instances of TGTD on a
host.
TGTADM has a matching argument to control which instance to connect to.
--iscsi <...>
ISCSI specific options. See the ISCSI section below for options specific to this frontend.
ISCSI OPTIONS
These parameters apply only to the iSCSI frontend.
portal=<ip-address[:port]>
This option is used to bind tgtd to a specific ip-address/portal and/or port. By default tgtd will bind to port 3260 on the wildcard
address. The ip-address part (before the ":") can be missing to designate the wildcard address with a none-default port.
Example: to bind tgtd to a specific address and port
tgtd --iscsi portal=192.0.2.1:3260
Example: to bind tgtd to any address but a none-default port
tgtd --iscsi portal=:3251
