Hi, i've tested both freenas and openfiler

created the luns and the system finds the luns but....

when i try to create a volume with the iscsi as device it does not find any base volume....

if i test with the commandline interface i've a response like this

iscsiadm -m node -L all
Logging in to [iface: default, target: trapol, portal: 192.168.1.192,3260]
Logging in to [iface: default, target: disco5, portal: 192.168.1.192,3260]
Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2007-09.jp.ne.peach.istgt:disk0, portal: 192.168.1.28,3260]


and i think that the two "portal and disco5" are enough...
but when i probe mapping an LVM.... nope...

any hint?



what can i do?

i use the 2.6.24 version and the target is ok.

Another little question: where can i put the username and password in the interface?
for the iscsi target, i mean...

for now i've written both into the file but.....

it would be better to add two fileds into the interface....

:)

Tx, Diaolin

Ok, resolved for the password and removed from the OpenFiler itself the need to have a password.
But, i see the remote iscsi target and when i probe adding a volume group it, it finds the remote iscsi, obviously but no Base volume will be shown

DO you have any hint?

are you sure you're connected ?
Code:
 iscsiadm -m session

are you sure you got the disks really connected ?
Code:
 lsscsi
 
there is no device attached..

you should see something like :
Code:
[0:0:8:0]    enclosu DP       BACKPLANE        1.05  -       
[0:2:0:0]    disk    DELL     PERC 5/i         1.03  /dev/sda
[2:0:0:0]    disk    DataCore SANmelody        DCS   /dev/sdb

try
Code:
iscsiadm -m node -R
and lsscsi again
