Hi, list Has anyone tried out a SCSI Initiator with Xen? I''m currently looking at linux-iscsi[1] and open-scsi[2]. So far, linux-iscsi 4.0.x fails on compile and linux-iscsi 5.0.x (same codebase as open-scsi) does a kernel stack trace upon initiating a session with an iSCSI Target, regardless if it''s done in dom-0 or dom-U. Looking at the xen-devel list some recent posts have the same inquiry, but no answers yet. :-) - gino _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
linux-iscsi worked fine for me. It required some tweaking to compile against 2.6.11 On 6/13/05, Gino LV.

Still remember which changes you made? I''m still in the process of doing the tweaks myself to compile properly. I''ve gotten unh_iscsi to work and it seems to be pretty ok, though I still haven''t gotten the hang of getting multiple LUNs from one target -- linux-iscsi''s iscsiadm --sendtargets makes that part easy. - gino On 6/26/05, Kip Macy <kip.macy@gmail.com> wrote:> linux-iscsi worked fine for me.

Oh, on another note, I''m curious as to how you''ve used iSCSI with Xen (e.g. stability, scalability, performance). I ran the usual bonnie++ benchmarks to get I/O throughput, but from informal testing I get slightly much better performance with NFS. And on reliability, it seems that Linux is much better at handling NFS servers going away rather than iSCSI Targets going away... - gino On 6/26/05, Gino LV.
