Now you're starting to understand. Everything you need to make that HBA work is already part of the kernel/module driver system. You simply need to find instructions/information allowing you to manually program the HBA using scripts or conf files. And you'll need the exact/correct iSCSI target path name of the LUN you want to mount. This is the part where the Qlogic GUI tool comes in really handy--target discovery. Regarding getting into the HBA BIOS from that SUN box, it will definitely be a PITA compared to an x86 box if you're not familiar with the process, and especially over an IP KVM 10,000 miles away. Hit the Debian SPARC mailing list, Debian Enterprise, Linux iSCSI, etc. You can't be the first and only person to try this. Someone out there knows how to do this. Hope you can find him or that he documented it. If you need that box up and running now, ditch Debian and go back to Solaris. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
