Prepare for a Solaris iSCSI Configuration
Verify that the iSCSI software packages are installed.
# pkginfo SUNWisciu SUNWiscsir system SUNWiscsiu Sun iSCSI Device Driver (root) system SUNWiscsir Sun iSCSI Management Utilities (usr)
Verify that you are running a Solaris release that supports the iSCSI protocol.
Solaris 10 7/05 release or late

Solaris 10 release with the iSCSI patch
On a SPARC system:
# showrev -p | grep 119090
On an x86 system:
# showrev -p | grep 119091
** Configure iSCSI Target Discovery**
Configure the SendTargets device discovery method or the static discovery method:
# iscsiadm add discovery-address 10.0.0.1:326
Enable the iSCSI target discovery method using one of the following:
# iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets enable
Create the iSCSI device links for the local system.
# devfsadm -i iscsi======================================================
Note: How to Remove Discovered iSCSI Targets
Disable an iSCSI target discovery method using one of the following:
iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets disable
Remove an iSCSI device discovery entry:
iscsiadm remove discovery-address 10.0.0.1:3260=======================================================
Accessing iSCSI Disks
After the devices have been discovered by the Solaris iSCSI initiator, the login negotiation occurs automatically. The Solaris iSCSI driver determines that the number of LUNs available and creates the device nodes. Then, the iSCSI devices can be treated as any other SCSI device.
You can view the iSCSI disks on the local system with the format utility.
