I want to know the same thing, i am testing now with 2 new dl360g5 servers with 2 qlogic 2362 cards in point to point mode (direct crossed fiber cables connect - no switch)

QLOGIC Target/Initiator in target mode
Created a new Logical Volume, tried to init the volume or no init at all.
Created a new fc target group, created the WWN Alias
mounted the logical volume in the tv target group en added the wwn alias.

no luck...

todd, can you shine your light on this, i want to get this working before going into production on my iSCSI r3 server


here is some debug information from the scli interface (sansurfer) on my vmware machine:
