Hi Mike, The problem I have is that if a client does a SendTargets TEXT command, the comstar iscsi port returns all targets that the host hosts. Do you in your environment have a way to limit the targets visible to the client (specifically when doing target discovery via SendTargets)? Lets say I have a target for vlan 100 and another target for vlan 200. >itadm create-tpg tpg_100 192.168.100.1 >itadm create-tpg tpg_200 192.168.200.1 >itadm create-target -n iqn.1990-01.edu.amherst:target100 -t tpg_100 >itadm create-target -n iqn.1990-01.edu.amherst:target200 -t tpg_200 Let's take a linux open-iscsi client and do a discovery via sendtargets (the portal IP could be any IP that the target has been configured with) >iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1:3260,2 iqn.1990-01.edu.amherst:target100 192.168.200.1:3260,2 iqn.1990-01.edu.amherst:target200 Looking at the source code of comstar/port/iscsit/iscsi_text.c line 550 there are comments in the code that indicate /* * Add all the targets to the response list. */ Looking at the code, all targets are enumerated and only those that are online or are about to become online are emitted to the initiator. The algorithm for this should be: Remember the current initiator name contacting us. Enumerate all host groups (stmfadm) and find a single host group where the initiator is a member, now we have a host group to key on. Enumerate all views (stmfadm) and look at those where the host group matches the one we found before. If we have that, look at the target group of that view and enumerate over the targets of the target group. Those targets are to be visible. As you enumerate all views and perform these steps, accumulate the target list. Now emit the resulting target list - the initiator would only see those targets that the initiator has been configured to see. Steffen
