We're working on some more interface stuff for setting up various
properties like TPGT's and ACL for the ZVOLs which are shared through
ZFS.
Now that I've knocked off a couple of things that have been on my
plate I've got room to add some more. These definitely rank right up
towards the top.
Great news.
For the record, the reason I asked was we have an iscsi target host
with
2 NICs and for some reason clients were attempting to connect to
the targets
on the private interface instead of the one they were doing
discovery on
(which I thought was a bit odd).
This is due to a bug in the initiator. A prior change caused the
discovery list, as returned from the SendTargets request, to be
sorted in reverse order. The Solaris target goes out of it's way to
return the address used to discovery targets as the first address in
the list of available IP addresses for any given target. So, if you
had a public and private network and the discovery was done on the
public network, the public network IP address is first.
Now the iSCSI draft is mute on this point, so the initiator isn't
violating the draft, but it's definitely not the desired behavior.
When the engineer made the original fix for another bug they clearly
didn't see this side effect and nobody else who reviewed the code fix
did either. This is something which is being fixed now.
I tried creating a TPGT with iscsitadm, which seemed to work:
vera ~ # iscsitadm list tpgt -v
TPGT: 1
IP Address: 131.251.5.8
but adding a ZFS iscsi target into it gives me:
vera ~ # iscsitadm modify target -p 1 tank/iscsi/second4gb
iscsitadm: Error Can't call daemon
which is a pity (I'm assuming it can't find the targets to modify).
I've had to go back to just using iscsitadm due to time pressures, but
will be watching any progress closely.
This was an oversight on my part and should work.
