Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to manage migrations, live or 
otherwise, with domains installed on iSCSI targets between different 
physical hosts?

The problem I see is that you cannot be guaranteed that the device name 
that the iSCSI target gets mapped to on each system will be the same. In 
my test rig, for example, I see:

   
   on host1: /dev/rdsk/c2t010000144F40979800002A0048D97F70d0s2
   on host2: /dev/rdsk/c4t010000144F40979800002A0048D97F70d0s2

(Notice the controller number differs.)

I was hoping that devfsadm might have some (easy) way to force enforce 
uniformity, but so far I don't see anything there.

For now, I have worked around this with the use of symlinks to the 
devices which are then specified in the domain config rather than these 
dev links above.

It isn't horrible, but its another step in the process.

Anyone doing migration with domains iSCSI? How are you doing it?
