Hi all,

hopefully this will be a very, very straightforward problem.

I'm trying to set up OpenSolaris 2008.11 to be an iSCSI SAN box/target for my 
VMWare ESX server so I can 
A: get more datastore space
B: prove to management than giving me lots of money to buy some real servers, a 
couple of SANs and upgarding the network backbone to something from the 21st 
Century.

So, I have installed smtf from the package manager, disabled iscsitgt in the 
terminal, but when I try to enable iscsit with

svcadm enable -r svc:/network/iscsi/target:default

All I get back in return is:

svcadm: Pattern 'svc:/network/iscsi/target:default' doesn't match any instances.

So I'm guessing I have made a mess of something. There is no note that my 
skim-reading could find in the OpenSolaris COMSTAR Administration Guide to the 
iscsit service needing to be installed seperately - although admittadly that 
does seem to refer to the SXCE rather than OS 2008.11 - but fundamentally it 
should be similar enough, yes?

I have found out where the serice XML maps are [/var/svc/manifest/system] but 
there isn't one for iscsit in there.

I'm fairly familiar with Linux, but quite, quite new to Solaris and it's 
quibbles [such as automagic network setup freaking out on Dell GX620 hardware - 
I'm toying with this in Virtualbox before setting up a physical machine with 
it] so be gentle with me, but you don't need to treat me with too much in the 
way of kid gloves :-)
