Colin - thanks. Is there an easy way to update to snv_118 ? I am using 2009.06 (snv_111). I had svc:/system/iscsitgt:default online and svc:/network/iscsi/target:default offline, however I can't get /iscsi/target to start. It just reports back as Offline after I run "svcadm enable ..." - any idea why it would not startup ? Do I need to restart the server ? What is the difference between iscsitgt and the other ?
