In my experience, GlobalSAN is not very solid. I have a b87 target, and takes about 5 minutes to see disks when adding a portal or statically adding the target, and if I put the Mac to sleep when there is an isci connection, my machine would not wake up :( So even if you update your OpenSolaris, I'm thinking you will still have strange issues that relate more to the initiator than the target. I get the same behavior when connecting to IETD as well. So, I just did the network volume hack and used NFS, and time machine works. I was quite depressed when Apple didnt bundle a real initiator with 10.5. -Andy

I'm having the same issues with globalSAN as cmack. I'm running globalSAN 3.3.0.35 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.2. My OpenSolaris Target is: # uname -a SunOS athena 5.11 snv_79a i86pc i386 i86pc # isainfo -kv 64-bit amd64 kernel modules I created an iSCSI target through a zfs create command: # zfs create -V 300G -o shareiscsi=on tank/TimeMachine When I point globalSAN at the iSCSI machine (through the portal tab) it doesn't find the target device. GlobalSAN does automatially find the target device if I point it at a FreeBSD iSCSI system. So, I had to enter the target manually. I press the "Log On..." button and globalSAN reports a connection; however, iscsitadm does not report the connection. Drive utility on the Mac doesn't show the device connected. I believe the above paragraph is pretty much in lock step with cmack's issues. However, if you leave the system sit for about 30-40 minutes, the device does appear in the Disk Utility. Any attempts to manipulate the volume (including ejecting) results in timeouts and lockups. I don't know if that helps the debugging process, or if it just adds flotsam to the discussion. HTH!
