Thanks guys, i manage to mount it on solaris adi. Anyhow, can multi VMware ESX 4.0 host access to the same LUN? If yes, is it we need to add the initiator to the initiator group?

Hi Tony, Thanks for the info. I have go thru the big admin guide. I found out that we need to identify the initiator IQN from the OS (VM ESX in big admin guide) and create an initiator in the S7000 storage. I used the "iscsiadm list initiator-node" to identify Sun Solaris IQN and used it to create an initiator in S7000 storage. From there, i drag the initiator to iSCSI initiator group and created a LUN. I tried to use auto-discovery and static discovery on Sun Solaris but still nothing. Another way i tried is straight to the SAN>Targets>iSCSI Target>Auto Assign IQN+alias>Share>+LUN. Surprisingly the OS recognized the LUN in command "format" but i cant "newfs" or mount it. Which is the proper way? The document is showing the storage to use +initiator to accept the initiator IQN. The OS then will detect/rescan the target (storage) automatically. Why the storage have both initiator and target option? Confused admin here.

I am using S7310 with Sun Solaris 10 but the initiator OS is not important, right? i need to confirm the iscsi configuration on s7310.

Hi Rob, Since u r using s7100, i assume the iscsi configuration should be same. My initiator is under SunOS. So on storage side, i just need to create a LUN under target and auto assign IQN? I have done this and the SunOS can detect the rdsk but i cant newfs the partition. I tried to use format to create partition. No issue. If there any steps i missed out? please advice.

Hi Tonyw3/Butuz, Do you guys have configuration setting for S70310 iSCSI? In order to setup the s7310 storage, we should configure the storage LUN with initiator or targets? i found out that if i setup the LUN thru initiator cannot be detected by the OS. Any idea on that?
