Re: [zfs-discuss] Live resize/grow of iscsi shared ZVOL
I am certainly a little late to this post, but I recently began using ZFS and had to figure this all out. There are ways to do this without disturbing the volume or removing it and re-connecting it on the Windows side. I had a bit of research involved, and I put up a blog about it. Plan to share most of my opensolaris and future zfs tidbits there. http://kornax.org/wordpress/2010/10/zfs-iscsi-how-to-do-it-and-my-jouney-part-2/ Hope this helps people! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Re: [zfs-discuss] Live resize/grow of iscsi shared ZVOL
My EqualLogic arrays do not disconnect when resizing volumes. When I need to resize, on the Windows side I open the iSCSI control panel, and get ready to click the 'logon' button. I then resize the volume on the OpenSolaris box, and immediately after that is complete, on the Windows side, re-login to the target. Since the Windows initiator can tolerate brief disconnects, IO is not stopped or adversely affected, just paused for those few seconds. It works fine. Multi-path is a little more complicated as you would have to re-logon to all of your paths, but if you have at least one path active, you should be fine. -Scott -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Did anyone reply to this question? We have the same issue and our Windows admins do see why the iSCSI target should be disconnected when the underlying storage is extended -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
