Thread-topic: iSCSI & XenExpress 4.0.1

Hello,

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting iSCSI working with XenExpress v4.

 

I have several iSCSI target using OpenSolaris.  Windows clients can connect to them no problem and I’ve been able to get Linux hosts connected using open-iscsi.

 

When I try to connect using the GUI I get an error – “The attempt to discover the iSCSI target/device failed”.

 

When I try using the CLI using;

 

xe sr-create name-label="iSCSI1" shared=true device-config-target=172.17.10.87 type=lvmoiscsi device-config-targetIQN=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:fba3b3f8-bed4-c2c6-e6b9-ede113caffef.tgt-nas1

 

I get

 

Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_68

Error parameters: exit code not 0, ISCSI login failed [opterr=code is 255]

 

Which would make sense as I didn’t pass my CHAP authentication.  I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to do that from the CLI?

 

Next I tried to attach to our other iSCSI target that doesn’t use CHAP using;

 

xe sr-create name-label="iSCSI1" shared=true device-config-target=172.17.10.81 type=lvmoiscsi device-config-targetIQN=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:412bf557-1cc5-6371-e5b3-b13cc683cb02.tgt-nas3

 

And again the same iSCSI login failure???

 

Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_68

Error parameters: exit code not 0, ISCSI login failed [opterr=code is 255]

 

Lastly I tried to mount the target with

 

iscsiadm –t node –T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:fba3b3f8-bed4-c2c6-e6b9-ede113caffef.tgt-nas1 –p 172.17.10.87:3260 –login

 

And then the kernel panics and the server reboots.  Now I start wondering if Xen is right for production??

 

Any help, pointers, references, suggestions are appreciated.
