After playing for a while with openfiler and the snapshot functionality, I
stumbled across this problem
I scheduled a snapshot on one of my luns. This lun is mounted as drive G:
on my windows server, via the Microsoft ISCSI Initiator. Works great.
I want to mount the snapshot lun, so I edited /etc/ietd.conf (because the
GUI doesn't seem to include a way to do this. It allows you to 'share' the
snapshot, but does not allow to do so over iSCSI)
part of ietd.conf file :
Target iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler:storage3.lun3
Lun 0 Path=/dev/storage3/lun3,ScsiSN=CZklf2-quoJ,Type=fileio
#added manually
Target iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler:storage3ss.lun3
Lun 0 Path=/dev/storage3/of.snapshot.lun3.sched0,Type=fileio
restarted iscsi-target, and the snapshot lun becomes visible in MS iSCSI
initiator, but I cannot mount the lun on the same system that has the
original lun3 mounted as drive G:
So I connected to the snapshot lun from another system, and I could connect
just fine... but it mounted the snapshot lun as drive G:, so I guess that's
the reason why I couldn't mount it on the original windows server. (drive
letter conflict ?)
So what are my options ? I want to have one system that is responsible for
backing up all of my snapshots. (I have 3 lun's, 2 of them are mounted as
drive D: on 2 different systems, 1 is mounted as drive G:)
So I'd like to be able to mount the snapshots on one system, and have some
sort of control over the drive letter that will be assigned.
Any ideas ?
thanks
P
