Hello all,
I'm trying to recover from backup file to a new system with a new disk. I'm able to partition my new hard drive the same way as my old drive, but I'm unable to boot off of it. I have set the fdisk to toogle as a boot flag. But it does not seem to be working. Does anyone know how to... (4 Replies)
The second disk that I'm trying to make bootable is to hold another version of Solaris (9).
I've created the partitions with format and labeled the disk - created the filesystems with newfs - created and mounted the directories.
...but I think I've missed something out like using fdisk to... (16 Replies)
In our HP/Unix system, our master scsi drive was bootable and our mirrored drive was non-bootable. Are any of these alternatives possible:
1) Make the non-bootable scsi drive bootable? How?
2) Create a bootable scsi drive, then copy the mirrored data to the newly created scsi drive?
I seek... (1 Reply)
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.
Thanks,

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)
Hi,
I have an iSCSI LUN attached to an AIX 5.3 box. It's initial size is 250GB, I just grew it on the SAN to 300GB, but AIX is not seeing the change. Right now I have some processes going and it's eating up the disk space. I need to grow this lun by atleast 30GB otherwise the process with bomb... (5 Replies)
Hello Everyone,
Can someone help me to mount a SAN hdisk which contains a clone data copy(san) of the remote server to the another machine. Both servers are running in AIX.
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
I have aix 6.1 box. I want to configure iscsi luns from netapp storage. I tried in google but not getting proper solution for that. i m not getting the proper iqn name.
Please share me the steps to complete this requirements.
Thanks in advance. (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am trying to setup multipathing (using DM multipath) for a redhat cluster setup ...all setup is done but issue is :
node 1 shows the shared iscsi lun as sdc
node 2 shows the same as sdg (changes on reboots)
Due to this (i guess) i get i/o error & i can not read files created by... (0 Replies)

targets
TARGETS(5) BSD File Formats Manual TARGETS(5)NAME
targets -- configuration file for iSCSI targets
SYNOPSIS
targets
DESCRIPTION
The targets file describes the iSCSI storage which is presented to iSCSI initiators by the iscsi-target(8) service. A description of the
iSCSI protocol can be found in Internet Small Computer Systems Interface RFC 3720.
Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a '#') specifies an extent, a device (made up of extents or other devices),
or a target to present to the initiator.
Each definition, an extent, a device, and a target, is specified on a single whitespace delimited line.
The extent definition specifies a piece of storage that will be used as storage, and presented to initiators. It is the basic definition for
an iSCSI target. Each target must contain at least one extent definition. The first field in the definition is the extent name, which must
begin with the word ``extent'' and be followed by a number. The next field is the file or NetBSD device which will be used as persistent
storage. The next field is the offset (in bytes) of the start of the extent. This field is usually 0. The fourth field in the definition
is the size of the extent. The basic unit is bytes, and the shorthand KB, MB, GB, and TB can be used for kilobytes (1024 bytes), megabytes
(1024 kilobytes), gigabytes (1024 megabytes), and terabytes (1024 gigabytes) respectively. It is possible to use the word ``size'' to use
the full size of the pre-existing regular file given in the extent name.
The device definition specifies a LUN or device, and is made up of extents and other devices. It is possible to create hierarchies of
devices using the device definition. The first field in the definition is the device name, which must begin with the word ``device'' and be
followed by a number. The next field is the type of resilience that is to be provided by the device. For simple devices, RAID0 suffices.
Greater resilience can be gained by using the RAID1 resilience field. Following the resilience field is a list of extents or other devices.
Large devices can be created by using multiple RAID0 extents, in which case each extent will be concatenated. Resilient devices can be cre-
ated by using multiple RAID1 devices or extents, in which case data will be written to each of the devices or extents in turn. If RAID1
resilience is used, all the extents or sub-devices must be the same size. Please note that RAID1 recovery is not yet supported by the
iscsi-target(8) utility. An extent or sub-device may only be used once.
The target definition specifies an iSCSI target, which is presented to the iSCSI initiator. Multiple targets can be specified. The first
field in the definition is the target name, which must begin with either of the words ``target'' or ``lun'' and be followed by a number.
Optionally, if a target is followed by an ``='' sign and some text, the text is taken to be that of the iSCSI Qualified Name of the target.
This IQN is used by the initiator to connect to the appropriate target. The next field is a selector for whether the storage should be pre-
sented as writable, or merely as read-only storage. The field of ``rw'' denotes read-write storage, whilst ``ro'' denotes read-only storage.
The next field is the device or extent name that will be used as persistent storage for this target. The fourth field is a slash-notation
netmask which will be used, during the discovery phase, to control the network addresses to which targets will be presented. The magic val-
ues ``any'' and ``all'' will expand to be the same as ``0/0''. If an attempt is made to discover a target which is not allowed by the net-
mask, a warning will be issued using syslog(3) to make administrators aware of this attempt. The administrator can still use tcp wrapper
functionality, as found in hosts_access(5) and hosts.deny(5) to allow or deny discovery attempts from initiators as well as using the inbuilt
netmask functionality.
