Another iSCSI question!



We have an EMC Clariion SAN with a Celerra NAS front end for CIFS and
NFS mounted file systems and iSCSI. Using the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
client software allows us to make connection to iSCSI LUNs and it works
as expected. However, I cannot get any of my IBM AIX boxes to make the
proper connection. I set the initiator according to the docs I can find
on the web sites for the IBM iSCSI device, and my logs on the target
(Celerra Data Movers,) shows that I touch the target but I cannot see
the expected disks after doing a cfgmgr -l iscsi.

I've been successful using my PC and the Microsoft Initiator to make
contact and see the target LUNs so I think my problem lies with the AIX
configuration but I can't find the key. Anyone have any clues? Is
there an IBM Initiator package that needs to be loaded?

Any feedback would be appreciated.
