iSCSI in 3.0.0

[streiblf]

I'm testing new 3.0.0 iSCSI support with QNAP TS-219 NAS (linux based) target. Unfortunately VBox is not booting as there are some iSCSI related configuration options missing (I’m getting error screents). I believe that this is bug of addiscsidisk command.

1) Even LUN is stated as optional parameter, when not specified VBox will cry about conversion to U32
2) Some more parameters missing even not requested as mandatory by CLI. I had to edit VirtualBox.xml by hand and add these two lines. It still doesn’t work! Probably due I have no idea what to put in xml.
<Property name="Timeout" value="100"/>
<Property name="HostIPStack" value="1"/>

Please help.

Looking at the source (of OSE) I can't see why this should fail, but I dug up that Timeout is in milliseconds, and the default is 10000. I tested with that value in my config, and it seems to work (using an opensolaris iSCSI target). (And HostIPStack set to 1, LUN set to 0.)

If this doesn't work for you, you could also work around the problem by importing the disk on the host and using raw disk access on it (see section 9.10 in the manual).
