Using opensolaris as iscsi initiator for stgt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This could be handy info for some. The target is set up on linux with stgt,
the initiator is on opensolaris.

Although most of it is probably well know to Solaris fans, it took me a bit of time to figure out to get the vtl (virtual tape library) target working fine under opensolaris.
For those who want to give it a try, here are the commands:


For normal disk and cd targets no files have to be changed. All you need is the following:

# svcadm enable iscsi_initiator

and check if it is online:

# svcs iscsi_initiator

the state should be online.

Now we add the discovery address to the initiator:

# iscsiadm add discovery-address <IP of target>

Now we configure the discovery mode to sendtargets:

# iscsiadm modify discovery -t enable

Check the target:

# iscsiadm list target -S

And create the device files:

# devfsadm -i iscsi


Tape devices will be shown properly, but not the changer device, this takes a bit more work. Two files need to be changed, and a reboot is needed to set things up properly.

In the file /etc/driver_aliases the two lines

sgen "scsa,08.bfcp"
sgen "scsa,08.bvhci"

need to be replaced with

sgen "scsiclass,08"


The file /kernel/drv/sgen.conf, which is basically all commented out
needs to have the following lines:

device-type-config-list="changer","sequential";
inquiry-config-list=    "*", "*";

name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=1 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=2 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=3 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=4 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=5 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=6 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=7 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=8 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=9 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=10 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=11 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=12 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=13 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=14 lun=4;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=15 lun=4;


For the last bit it should be noted that my changer was set to lun 4,
and since I don't know which target I put all target numbers in (0-15).

After these modifications the best is to reboot the machine, and do the iscsi commands
above, and he presto it works:

In my case, three tape drives and one changer:

root@solar:/kernel/drv# iscsiadm list target -S
