Set up openfiler as dynamic iscsi target in solaris server

This post is taking about to setting up dynamic ISCSI target to access from solaris host , here i am providing some screenshot for same.

I have configured and tested in my environment , These are the steps to configured dynamic ISCSI target.


Check iscsi service is running or not:

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

Enable the iscsi service:

bash-3.2# svcadm enable svc:/network/iscsi/initiator:default
bash-3.2#

Check again to confirm the status of iscsi service:

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

Check the current status of send target mode:

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

Enable send target mode:

bash-3.2# iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets enable
bash-3.2#

Check the status again to confirm :

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

Add the IP address of your iscsi target:

bash-3.2# iscsiadm add discovery-address 192.168.10.30
bash-3.2#

Check the status of discovery-address:

bash-3.2# iscsiadm list discovery-address
Discovery Address: 192.168.10.30:3260
bash-3.2# iscsiadm list target
Target: iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler:tsn.46012d2a5365
        Alias: -
        TPGT: 1
        ISID: 4000002a0000
        Connections: 1
bash-3.2#

Scan and Detect the iscsi disks in OS level running with devfsadm command:
