Through the "localhost" IP address of 127.0.0.1, or more specifically
127.0.0.1:3260
Add local host to discovery address list
# iscsiadm add discovery-address 127.0.0.1
Ask local host what targets are available
# iscsiadm list discovery-address -v 127.0.0.1
Discovery Address: 127.0.0.1:3260
Target name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:8287d019-313c-ef2f-edf7-
d5f715fb871d.c4t
Target address: 127.0.0.1:3260, 1
Target name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:
02:e8a8325a-83b2-6e0a-96e8-83aa240793db.c5t
Target address: 127.0.0.1:3260, 1
Either enable send targets discovery...
# iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets enable
Or enable static discovery, and cut-n-paste target names
# iscsiadm modify discovery --static enable
# iscsiadm add static-config iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:8287d019-313c-ef2f-
edf7-d5f715fb871d.c4t,127.0.0.1:3260
# iscsiadm add static-config iqn.1986-03.com.sun:
02:e8a8325a-83b2-6e0a-96e8-83aa240793db.c5t,127.0.0.1:3260
> Can it be be mounted just like a local storage device?
Since you mentioned the word "mounted", except for file systems like
shared-QFS, all (or mostly all) other file Solaris filesystems are
single accessor only. Although there is nothing preventing this,
mounting a non-shared filesystem on multiple hosts, even if read-only
can cause read errors, or possible system panics.
