Hi All, I'm meeting a problem with the routing discovery during booting-up and hoping to get some helps from this alias. I'll describe the problem below, please kindly share your thoughts on this if any. Thanks in advance.
We're working on the iSCSI initiator in Solaris, it utilizes TCP/IP protocol in kernel (so*) to enumerate block devices on the local host. Users may need to access these block devices in an early booting up time, e.g., by mount points in /etc/vfstab, or use them as shared DID or quorum device in Cluster environment. However a problem here is that iscsi devices could be inaccessible during the boot time due to the route to the iSCSI target (probably in another subnet) is not established yet. That issue is getting hot since people keep asking to use iSCSI device on cluster environment. I'm curious about if there is a service which is configurable, say, online until a specified IP is routable. If so we can add a dependency on it. Or any possible solution? Thanks.
