Jake,

For OpenSolaris 11/08, you are using the iSCSI
Target Daemon, and
thus a means to look inside the daemon as to what
is doing can be
accomplished by DTrace:

Topics_iSCSI


Goodness, this is the most compelling reason yet for me to finally learn DTrace.

Excellent !

Is there a COMSTAR/itadm equivalent of 'iscsitadm
show stats'
equivalent for snv_112+? That was very handy.

No, there is no 'stat' command available for the
iSCSI Target in
COMSTAR.


But just to allow me to procrastinate a moment longer on that ;), does anyone know if the 112 ON stuff with 'iscsiadm stat' functionality will be included in the OS2009.06 release? And does 'iscsitadm stat' allow one to see the current, immediate utilisation by the various targets?

No it will not. iscsitadm is the CLI for administering the iSCSI Target Daemon (iscsitgtd). In due time software associated with this daemon will be removed from OpenSolaris, as the future for iSCSI and other SCSI based targets is COMSTAR.

The CLIs associated with COMSTAR and its administration of SCSI Targets and associated LUNs do not include 'stat' like command options.

Preliminary work is underway to add kstats to COMSTAR, but this is just the means to make available raw statistics, which can be obtained with the 'kstat' CLI, or libkstat.so At that point additional consideration can be given to enhance the CLI 'iostat', or other CLI options to gain administrator observability into COMSTAR and its various SCSI Targets.

Jim
