iSCSI target not working

Hey all,

Was wondering if you could help me with a iSCSI problem? I've created a ZFS on a remote Solaris machine and configured it as an iSCSI target:

Code: Select all

zfs set shareiscsi=on tank/iTunesVM
I have confirmed that the target is available using "iscsitadm list target" on the Solaris machine and it listed the target, but I can't tell if the Linux box can actually see it or if it needs a username and password.

Then on my Ubuntu box (VirtualBox 2.0.4_OSE) I add the disk as a Virtual Disk Image:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage addiscsidisk -server 10.0.59.100 -target iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:bc102a1c-8a78-c0ba-c3ef-a90138e27b0e
I then create a new virtual machine, assign this as the primary IDE drive and start it up only to get:

Code: Select all

PIIX3 cannot attach drive to the Primary Master.
VBox status code: -2823 (VERR_PDM_DRIVER_NOT_FOUND).


Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
Console
Interface: 
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}
Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Thanks,
Kevpatts

Dump the OSE and use the PUEL version from the website. Install 2.0.6, as that's the latest version that is the most stable atm. 2.1.0 still has some issues. It's possible that iSCSI is not supported in the OSE version. I also recall seeing a post about this on the forums which said it wasn't working properly yet. You might want to search the forums for it. See the Forum Posting Guide for a search trick to get better search results.
