Happy weekend John! I posted in the CR that while they are doing the work to increase it to 256, they might as well bump it all the way up to 65536 or sizeof (int).
What build is that "alias" fix in? I made a little modification to my "iscsi-disk" script to allow luns just like that. I think I might have even sent it out? I was going to blog it, but I haven't gotten there yet. Here is what I have so far... http://blogs.sun.com/tommythekid/entry/building_xvms_on_iscsi (note: this is part 1 configuring iSCSI, part 2 will be creating the "first" xvm, part 3 will involve clones) ~tommy On Nov 22, 2009, at 10:41 AM, John Levon wrote: > On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 08:50:42PM -0800, Tommy McNeely wrote: > >> Thanks for the response.
