The "Bad XML response" occurs when you try to "read" the

case this is due to the Windog Initiator that can't stay connected
to the Solaris Target.
Well, I'm new with Solaris so I can't be totally sure of this^^
When I'm only using zfs shareiscsi I need to restart the target
service or destroy the volume and recreate for the xml config file
to be recreated. I'm not sure where zfs stores its iscsi
information, but when I also use the manual (iscsitadm create
target -b ...) method the config.xml for this seems to stay in place.
For ZVOLs the iSCSI Target does not store information in the
configuration files. The information is stored as a property on the
ZVOL itself.
The iSCSI Target configuration files are private data which you
shouldn't be viewing. They may not even exist in future releases.
Regardless I'm having issues with trying to connect to the iscsi
target. Its broken some how. I tried a quick test from an
openfiler vmware image I've got some PDU errors trying to start the
initiator against the b55b Solaris target.
Would this be VMWare's ESX product? We had one problem with that
initiator which was recently fixed, but I have not seen anything like
what you're talking about. Could you give me some more information on
the initiator that you used?
I'm surprised it's such a pita, makes me wonder if zfs is really
worth the pain of solaris vs linux.
I too am surprised by your troubles. Enabling the shareiscsi property
on a ZVOL makes the iSCSI Target usage trivial.
