Hi Andy, the problem is, that the term "HA iSCSI" leaves lots of room for interpretation.
I assume what you want to have is that you have a cluster that provides HA services (but not necessarily HA iSCSI targets, which is a different issue), using - probably - local disks within the cluster nodes via iSCSI. This is indeed described in the doc that you mention below. A much better description can be found in Thorsten's blog at: http://blogs.sun.com/TF/entry/hochverf%C3%BCgbarkeit_mit_minimalem_cluster. This is a blog entry in German but has a link to an English whitepaper that has it all. It is a setup that uses local disks only. Now HA iSCSI targets would be a different setup, namely configuring an iSCSI target and making that HA. It seems to me that the iSCSI target implementation uses some local(!) configuration files that would need to be put on shared storage or put into the CCR to make it failover succesfully. I am not sure if anybody is working on this one.
