I think it's just the case that this has not been a priority for the 
iscsi target team, and no one has been shouting for this to be supported.

There are still a fair number of outstanding bugs in the target code,
some that are only now being fixed after many months on the bug list,
so the iscsi team seem to be busy working on those at the moment.

I'm not sure if there are any plans to support this feature in the new
COMSTAR iscsi target, but that code is still at a very early stage.

Yes, I think raising a bug for this will help get the issue onto the
'radar' of the iscsi target team:

http://www.opensolaris.org/bug/report.jspa

Give it a category of "storage_target" & "iscsi"

Once you hit the send button, don't expect an instant response.
It does not even automatically give you a bug ID number!
Wait about 3 working days, and then do a search & you should 
then find the bug in the database.

For reference, the "scsi_cmd_table_t raw_table[]" is shown
at the end of the file, here:
