James,

Go here <http://www.zaal.org/iscsi/> for help on how to get the
linux-iscsi initiator to talk to the UNH target. You might also need
to apply the attached patch at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=979782&group_id=77733&atid=551069>
to the UNH target to get it to work with the Cisco initiator.

I managed to get the UNH and linux-iscsi (3.4.3) initiators to talk to
the UNH target. I ran the initiators both under Xen and on vanilla
Linux. However this was with a 2.4 kernel.

Also, any particular reason for running the targets under Xen?

Niraj

I tried a combination 'iSCSI Enterprise Target'
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/iscsitarget/) (v0.2.6  but i think
0.3.0 is out now) + 'Linux-iSCSI Project'
(http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net/). Unfortunately, after finally
getting network booting working I found I was getting massive and
almost immediate filesystem corruption. Both are running under xen
which places a rather large number of variables into the equation, so
I have no idea what is causing what.
  
I'm now battling with unh-iscsi (http://unh-iscsi.sourceforge.net/)
which provides a target and an initiator, but looks like it needs a
bit of hand holding to get running (changes to .h files to modify
config, no init scripts, clumsy admin tools). It does support linux
2.6 though.
  
If I can get it working, i'll be trying the Linux-iSCSI initiator
against the unh-iscsi target tonight.
  
James
