There are two different methods for connecting the same initiator to the same target multiple times. One is the official way, which is documented in the RFC, and is called Multiple Connections per Session (MC/S). The other method which several initiators support is multiple sessions per target. The Solaris iSCSI Target supports having multiple sessions from the same initiator. Saying that is kind of cheating since the target really doesn't have to do anything. If the initiator is willing to create separate sessions the target is more than happy to accept the session. As Jim points out the target doesn't support MC/S at this time. MC/S support is where the fun really begins for both a target and initiator. Just thought I'd try to provide a little more information since this can be a tricky area if you're not familiar with the protocol. > > > > This sounds like a weird question to me, but the MS > > software > > > initator does exactly this when configured for > > iSCSI boot to > > > transision from the initial 3rd party boot-loader > > to the software > > > initiator. > > > > > > I'm on svn_68, if thats relevent. > > > > Jim Dunham > > Solaris, Storage Software Group > > > > Sun Microsystems, Inc. > > 1617 Southwood Drive > > Nashua, NH 03063 > > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > http://blogs.sun.com/avs > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > storage-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss > -- Rick McNeal A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn .. that was fun!"
