DSS6 Beta and XEN server 5.5

[To-M]

Engineers would like to see if you can test with the IETd instead of the default SCST - to change this go to the console then enter CTRL + ALT + W then Tuning options then iSCSI daemon then iSCSI solution then select IETd - you will lose connections from a reset and you will need to reconnect from the inititator side.

I was able to connect with DSS6 update3 beta with XEN5.5 without any problem. But I updated to DSS6 full version and I am able to connect to XEN 5.5 with IETD but I am not able to create any VM on the storage.

If you all are using the latest version of DSS V6 with File IO and IET this should work. I want you all to send in the to support. We need to start collecting the data and run some tests then we can post on the KB once engineers are able to see what is going.

Thenks, this solution is help me, but after reboot DSS V6 physcial machines, XenServer warns that the dss v6 iSCSI stroage cannot be reconnected, therefore, I try to reconnect it. But while I try to connect the iSCSI stroage, after I type in IP and discovered the target IQN, then I try to discover the LUN attached to the IQN, then it fails, the error message on XenServer console is "no LUNs were found on IP. Check your settings and try again."

The same problem with openfire server, and this problem was resolved in this http://community.citrix.com/display/...+Openfiler+2.3
But, what can i do with DSS V6?

Thanks!

Engineers reviewed the link and it seems it is not related. the problem with XEN is that SCST does not work with it. IET will work properly.

Thank for your answer! I'm was changed "iSCSI solution type" the IETd instead of the default SCST and create new iSCSI volume with type "File I/O". In XenCenter I was added new storage repository is type iSCSI without any problem. BUT! Every time, after reboot DSS V6 server, iSCSI storage state is "BROKEN" and I can't "Rapair Storage Repository". I must go to "web_interface_dssv6server-CONFIGURATION-iSCSI target manager-Targetsiqn.2009-09:dss.target2" and press "-" action, operation was performed, press "+" action in "Target volume manager". After these actions I can "Rapair Storage Repository" in XenCenter. Help me please resolve this trouble!

Can you rescan the connection from the XEN server side to reconnect when rebooting the DSS server?
