iSCSI Configuration for Solaris • To configure dynamic discovery with iSNS, enter: # iscsiadm add iSNS-server 10.0.0.1:3205 where IP_address is the IP address of the iSCSI target. The iSCSI connection is not initiated until the discovery method is enabled. • To configure static discovery, enter: # iscsiadm add static-config eui.xxxx where eui.xxxx is the Extended Unique Identifier (EUI) of the iSCSI target. The iSCSI connection is not initiated until the discovery method is enabled. 3 Enable the iSCSI target discovery method using one of these commands: • If you have configured a dynamically discovered (SendTargets) device, enable the SendTargets discovery method: # iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets enable • If you have configured a dynamically discovered (iSNS) device, enable the iSNS discovery method: # iscsiadm modify discovery --isns enable • If you have configured static targets, enable the static target discovery method: # iscsiadm modify discovery --static enable 4 Create the iSCSI device links for the local system. # devfsadm -i iscsi Accessing iSCSI Logical Devices If you want to make the iSCSI logical device available on reboot, add it to the /etc/ vfstab file in the file system. After the devices have been discovered by the Solaris iSCSI initiator, the login negotiation occurs automatically. The number of LUNs available are determined and the device nodes are created. Then, the iSCSI devices can be treated as any other iSCSI devices. Appendix A Configuring iSCSI Initiators 175

iSCSI Configuration for Solaris
Appendix A
Configuring iSCSI Initiators
175
To configure dynamic discovery with iSNS, enter:
# iscsiadm add iSNS-server 10.0.0.1:3205
where
IP_address
is the IP address of the iSCSI target.
The iSCSI connection is not initiated until the discovery method is enabled.
To configure static discovery, enter:
# iscsiadm add static-config
eui.xxxx
where
eui.xxxx
is the Extended Unique Identifier (EUI) of the iSCSI target.
The iSCSI connection is not initiated until the discovery method is enabled.
3
Enable the iSCSI target discovery method using one of these commands:
If you have configured a dynamically discovered (SendTargets) device, enable
the SendTargets discovery method:
# iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets enable
If you have configured a dynamically discovered (iSNS) device, enable the
iSNS discovery method:
# iscsiadm modify discovery --isns enable
If you have configured static targets, enable the static target discovery method:
# iscsiadm modify discovery --static enable
4
Create the iSCSI device links for the local system.
# devfsadm -i iscsi
Accessing iSCSI Logical Devices
If you want to make the iSCSI logical device available on reboot, add it to the
/etc/
vfstab
file in the file system.
After the devices have been discovered by the Solaris iSCSI initiator, the login
negotiation occurs automatically. The number of LUNs available are determined
and the device nodes are created. Then, the iSCSI devices can be treated as any
other iSCSI devices.
