Hi,

I have an S10U3 system with an iSCSI initiator that's supposed to be
connected to and iSCSI target on another Sun box (runnin Nevada
build 57).

Yesterday we had a number of power cuts, affecting both machines.
Unfortunately the one with the target boots rather slowly.

So my system boots up and says:

Mar 14 16:24:00 foobar iscsi: [ID 286457 kern.notice] NOTICE: iscsi
connection(5) unable to connect to target
iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:ca0776bd-2ce7-4771-82b0-e1d529b5059a
(errno:146)

As a result, my zpool goes offline.

Now everything is back up again, how do I convince it to reactivate
the connection?

No amount of restarting the initiator or poking with devfsadm or
format or cfgadm seems to do anything.

The way I found was actually to run 'zpool status' which seemed to
kick it just the right way so that the connection gets reestablished
and I can then see the pool and the device in format. What it didn't
do was remount the filesystems. OK, so I get in as root and run
'zfs mount -a'.

This level of manual recovery is rather unsatisfactory. Is there a
better way to make sure that the initiator reconnects cleanly
even if the target isn't yet ready?
