I figured out the problem has to do with PCI cards. The nics work fine as long as the SATA controller add-in card is not present. The SATA controller works fine as long as I don't send data to or from the add-in NICS. I even removed the nics and replaced them with one PCI-E card for testing (als

Yes I did the same steps, and can connect to iscsi and transfer data. With my last configuration I mapped to dsk instead of rdsk. Still crashes though. I use Citrix Xenserver for virtualization, this does not play a part in the problem, as I have got the same results strictly using the Microsof

No, expectations of a stable file server while doing iscsi/cifs/nfs are reasonable. I wish I had the skills to help you troubleshoot, but sadly I do not. My only recommendation is to get Sun support if you can swing it, and work with them towards a solution. My experience with Sun support was po

NFS still caused the opensolaris server to reboot once the VM started to copy. There may just be a NFS configuration / permissions issue as the windows machine I attempted to test on first was not able to write to it. COMSTAR is working stable thus far, and at this point it is all going through
