iSCSI Setup?
Is there a step by step somewhere on setting iSCSI up?
Even the Xen version I downloaded from here tells me there is no iqn found when trying to attach to it from another computer? I do not understand it was working fine and I desided to install different drives and I reinstalled OF from scratch. Now I can not seam to make it work no matter what I do.
Many Thanks!

Re: iSCSI Setup?
1a. Create Physical volume on a single disk
1b. Create RAID volumes on multiple disks and create array
2. Add volumes from #1 into a Volume Group
3. Create an iSCSI volume in the VG from #2
4. Start the "iSCSI target server" service
5. Add a network entry for the client machine (or local subnet if private) at the bottom of "System > Network Setup"
6. Click "iSCSI Targets" on the Volumes page
7. Click "Add" to create a new target.
8. Click "Lun Mapping"
9. Click "Map"
10. Click "Network ACL"
11. Change the combo box for your network to "Allow".

Need to add the initiator host to the System/Networking tab, and grant access, probably, too. (I have yet to play with it, but that part applied to v2.2)

Re: iSCSI Setup?
Thanks, got it working with your help!
Now a new issue, server lost power & killed all the iSCSI lun's. It says they are mapped in the webapp but Xen say's there is no lun. This was working for about 8 hours. I had a 200gig and a 1.5tb part mapped. Now nothing?
I need to know if this is really a product to put into production? I have spent more then $4000.00 on this setup and all I have been doing is rebuilding it. Any help and insight's are helpful.
Thanks

Re: iSCSI Setup?
FYI. ESX couldn't find the targets until I added 255.255.255.255 into the NAC.
