There is a "mind change" in using COMSTAR iSCSI. With COMSTAR iSCSI, one normally creates one SCSI Target for the whole target system. In other words, there is very rarely any reason to run "itadm create-target" more than once. Each initiator system thus sees the same SCSI target. The storage administrator then uses Views to control which LUs are visible through that SCSI Target, which can be completely different for each initiator.

Hi!

I'm trying to put new COMSTAR iSCSI solution to some real-life use.
While in general it works without errors, I;ve run into couple of issues.

First, looks like I can't limit target visibilty to certain initiators. In "old" iscsitgt I could setup ACL, where I could specify which initiators who can use which targets.

I don't see such thing in itadm. Yes, I can setup Host Group in stmfadm add-view, but it doesn't stop initiators from accessing wrong targets.

Do I miss something here?

Hi Eugene,

There is no concept of target ACLs in COMSTAR iSCSI -- to restrict particular luns to a particular initiator you should use host groups (it sounds like you are already looking at those).
