I need to ask some questions first......
You copied an iSCSI filesystem to another machine and want to make it bootable. This filesystem is not iSCSI connected on the DR system; it is a normal directly connected disk??
This may sound like a stupid question but this filesystem has a Solaris O/S already installed (before you copied it over)?
Do you have the DVD media of this O/S?
Also, what type of filesystem is it? UFS or ZFS?

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)
