How to add Static iSCSI targets in Solaris-shared storage setup

This post explains about adding the static iSCSI target in Solaris host. After configured your openfiler software just you have to map those LUN's to specific target in order to access the LUN's in operating system level. From Solaris OS end just we need to configure those targets in OS level to see all the Lun's / disks.Here i am giving step by step manner with screenshot.

How to add the static iSCSI target in Solaris OS in detailed.

Check iSCSI service status:

bash-3.2# svcs -a | grep -i iscsitgt
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       18:59:33 svc:/system/iscsitgt:default
bash-3.2#

Enable iSCSI service and recheck service status:

bash-3.2# svcadm enable svc:/system/iscsitgt:default
bash-3.2# svcs -a | grep -i iscsitgt
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online       19:30:20 svc:/system/iscsitgt:default
bash-3.2#

Check target mode current status:

bash-3.2# iscsiadm list discovery
Discovery:
        Static: disabled
        Send Targets: disabled
        iSNS: disabled
bash-3.2#

Enable Static target mode and check the status:

bash-3.2# iscsiadm modify discovery --static enable
bash-3.2# iscsiadm list discovery
Discovery:
        Static: enabled
        Send Targets: disabled
        iSNS: disabled
bash-3.2#

Add static target which your seeing target number in your openfiler:

bash-3.2# iscsiadm add static-config iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler:tsn.46012d2a5365,192.168.10.30:3260
bash-3.2# iscsiadm list static-config
Static Configuration Target: iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler:tsn.46012d2a5365,192.168.10.30:3260
bash-3.2#

Scan the iSCSI LUN's / Disk:

bash-3.2# devfsadm -C -i iscsi
bash-3.2# echo |format
Searching for disks...done

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
 0. c0d0 
    /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0
 1. c0d1 
    /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@1,0
 2. c3t1d0 
    /iscsi/disk@0000iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler%3Atsn.46012d2a53650001,0
 3. c3t2d0 
    /iscsi/disk@0000iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler%3Atsn.46012d2a53650001,1
Specify disk (enter its number): Specify disk (enter its number): 
bash-3.2#

Now we have shared / configured storage setup and we can add multiple target for same LUNS and that will act as alternative path for those LUNS. So we can practice multi-pathing as well.
