Hello,
Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting iSCSI
working with XenExpress v4.
I have several iSCSI target using OpenSolaris. Windows
clients can connect to them no problem and I’ve been able to get Linux
hosts connected using open-iscsi.
When I try to connect using the GUI I get an error – “The
attempt to discover the iSCSI target/device failed”.
When I try using the CLI using;
xe sr-create name-label="iSCSI1" shared=true
device-config-target=172.17.10.87 type=lvmoiscsi device-config-targetIQN=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:fba3b3f8-bed4-c2c6-e6b9-ede113caffef.tgt-nas1
I get
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_68
Error parameters: exit code not 0, ISCSI login failed
[opterr=code is 255]
Which would make sense as I didn’t pass my CHAP
authentication. I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to do
that from the CLI?
Next I tried to attach to our other iSCSI target that doesn’t
use CHAP using;
xe sr-create name-label="iSCSI1" shared=true
device-config-target=172.17.10.81 type=lvmoiscsi
device-config-targetIQN=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:412bf557-1cc5-6371-e5b3-b13cc683cb02.tgt-nas3
And again the same iSCSI login failure???
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_68
Error parameters: exit code not 0, ISCSI login failed
[opterr=code is 255]
Lastly I tried to mount the target with
iscsiadm –t node –T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:fba3b3f8-bed4-c2c6-e6b9-ede113caffef.tgt-nas1
–p 172.17.10.87:3260 –login
And then the kernel panics and the server reboots. Now
I start wondering if Xen is right for production??
Any help, pointers, references, suggestions are appreciated.
