This can happen if the daemon isn't correctly listening for requests either because it's still starting up, because it's dumping core or for some other bug. Did it produce a core file? If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you configure coreadm(1M) to enable the global core file repository and then check to see if you get any core files from the iSCSI target daemon.
I'll try that later today. svsc says the iscsi target service is still running and no error messages appeared in the logs. Is there a method to run the iscsi target server daemon in the foreground with debugging?
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. This sounds like a bug in the iSCSI target. There have been several fixes in this area recently -- what build are you running?
SE:DE 02/07 (b55b). I wasn't able to install SE:CE b59, even though the install_check iso ran fine for some reason the installer just doesn't run. Everything up to setting the root password works, then it just sits there. ZFS stores its iSCSI configuration information as a property of the zvol
dataset (that is, not in the xml file in /etc).
Rebooting or destroy/create seems to fix the iscsi services bad xml config issue. Maybe it's an internal

If you want to file a bug directly with that information, that would be even more helpful.
I think running the iscsi daemon in the foreground would be the best for detail. Or maybe dtrace, I guess. Maybe you can give me a dtrace howto track the iscsitarget. I blew away the solaris install to try out the new Xen 3.2 beta, but I've still got the zfs pool sitting on the other disks in that system. I've got a b57 image I haven't tried install, maybe that will work better than b55b. However I assumed that SE:DE would be better tested as it's a Sun support target.
I'm surprised it's such a pita, makes me wonder if zfs is really worth the > pain of solaris vs linux. Sorry you're finding the transition a bit rocky. We've been working to improve the iSCSI target, ZFS, and their interactions.
Its a general complaint with some of my IT friends. Feels like you need a PhD to run Solaris. Anyone in a garage can run Linux. Even though I've never set up DRDB on Linux, I could probably have it up and running in half a day. Solaris needs more stuff like howtoforge. I'm only complaining because I know you guys are listening now, otherwise I probably won't bother and run Linux. Nicholas
