Hi There,
I was able to setup iSCSI initiator and connect to Delll Storage.
Now when I run lsscsi, those other 2 drives are listed, but how do I use them with SuSE here?
Here is the output:
[FONT=Lucida Console]SenHA01:~ # lsscsi
[0:0:0:0] disk VMware Virtual disk 1.0 /dev/sda
[2:0:0:0] cd/dvd NECVMWar VMware IDE CDR10 1.00 /dev/sr0
[3:0:0:0] disk DELL MD32xxi 0784 -
[3:0:0:31] disk DELL Universal Xport 0784 -[/FONT]
Any help…?

Through YaST->Partitioner?

I checked there, and I do not see these new iSCSI disk listed in Expert partitiioner…
Did you follow the docs on how to setup iscsi? https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/stor_admin/data/sec_inst_system_iscsi_initiator.html

Yes followed the steps given in teh document and still I do not see the drives listed in partitioner…
Not sure how to mount them right?

it’s catching the eye that no drive letter was assigned to those disk drives, hence the OS has no way to access these two disks.
Could you please share what’s reported in syslog (/var/log/messages) when the iSCSI devices are connected?
And while we’re at it, which SLES is this?
Regards,
Jens

Thanks,
Hi ddgaikwad,
does one the following commands help to resolve the issue? (Please make sure to replace “host4” by the actual controller created for the iSCSI connection.)
# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host4/scan# echo "- - 0" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host4/scanRegards,
Jens

Tried the same, but I do not see any scsi devices there, I have the following output:

Seems that those 2 disk are not at all displayed here…
Hi ddgaikwad,
Seems that those 2 disk are not at all displayed here…
yes, this will only happen once the kernel / driver identified the SCSI device as a disk and assigned a new device name… udev then (and only then) will create symlinks like the ones you quotes.
Unfortunately I have no idea why your iSCSI devices aren’t handled as disks, you may have to open a service request to get this issue resolved. Unless someone else here comes up with a helpful idea.

Hi jmozdzen,
I was going through the set for SAN and found that, the iSCSI drives that I am trying to mount are actually shared between two ESX servers.
The format for these drives is, VMFS5, so is it due to this they are not being shown in SuSE servers?
The funny part is that they are accessible from both those two ESX servers!
We are able also able to read and write to them via the ESX servers.
So the other question is that, is there something that SuSE server do not support VMFS file system?
Any thoughts over this?
