I am trying to build a OpenSolaris cluster (2009 06 and HA Cluster). The
cluster will share out it's disks to other clients (Windows and Linux) using
iSCSI. The idea is that if one node fails it's iSCSI disks will fail across to
the other node in the cluster. Therefore the iSCSI disk will always be
available to the clients. I cannot find any iSCSI agents. Has anyone got this
to work?
I guess you want to setup what's described at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7821/girgb?a=view
And then share the resultnig mirrored zpool by means of COMSTAR.
Here's the doc : http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7821
This thread could be of interest for you :

We tried to setup something similar (sharing the resulting mirrored
zpool through CIFS), but had some problems with ISCI, so we changed our
minds (I'm not saying you should change yours though and I'm willing to
hear about your success/failure to set this up).
You can read about our problems here

Regarding agents, I can't tell for linux (we don't use ISCI for linux at
this time).
For windows XP you can download the software initiator from MS website
for free.
For 2K3, I can't remember if it's included or not.
Beginning with vista, I think it's included in the system and you should
even be able to install and directly on/from ISCSI.
Other than that, you can always buy an hardware initiator (never worked
with this kind of hardware, but I know it exists).
Have a nice day,
Arnaud
