[zfs-discuss] iscsi confusion

2012-09-28 Thread Edward Ned Harvey (opensolarisisdeadlongliveopensolaris)
I am confused, because I would have expected a 1-to-1 mapping, if you create an iscsi target on some system, you would have to specify which LUN it connects to. But that is not the case... I read the man pages for sbdadm, stmfadm, itadm, and iscsiadm. I read some online examples, where you
