zfs discuss - Jan 2010 - ZFS shareiscsi and Comstar

Good morning,

<std_noob_disclaimer>
I am new to the OpenSolaris game so forgive me if this is covered elsewhere.
</std_noob_disclaimer>

While reading the documentation for zfs and comstar I note that there are two
methods for creating iscsi targets with zfs volumes. The first (which appears to
be unsupported) is to use the schareiscsi=on attribute on the volume. This
method does not appear to use comstar but the older, userspace, iscsitgt
service. In fact, if iscsitgt is offline it gets started when attempting to
create a volume with the sharescsi=on attribute.

Is the intent to move away from iscsitgt? Can I change some configuration
somewhere to specify which iscsi target service to use?


Regards,

Matthew.

No. In fact the cited ARC case obsoletes the shareiscsi property altogether.
