iscsi replication

[muurman]

I sended you an email with screenshots.
So i now took a clean harddisk, made the replication from the original ( dssmm ) to this new demo open-e config ( dss ) . Waited till the status told me it is all replicated. Took the power off the original ( dssmm ) . Set on de demo ( dss ) the volume to source and also did clear metadata. then i made a target and added this volume.

As you can see in the screenshot of the iscsi initiator it say's connected but the target doesn't appear in the diskmanager .

I tried this with a vista client, a xp client with the newest iscsi initiator, and now also on an xp client with an older iscsi client.

Also a reboot of the client doesn't help.

i use IE as my browser.

Try to go to the Details button for the Targets: iqn.2007-08:dssmm.target0 and logoff.
You may want to try with the connected one as well then refresh then logon for the dss target that stated "Connected".

Then go to Disk Manager > Action > Rescan Disk to see if this comes on line.

If you create another target from dss (CD-ROM) are you able to access the target (not being replicated), but for testing?

logon/logoff , rescan doesn't work.

when i make a new volume and a new target and on the client a connect to this it appears immediatly in the disk manager.

So i think iscsi replication has bugs.

I just tested again with Demo-CD ver. 1.23 to DSS ver. 1.23 and this worked.

If you want I can provide an online web demonstration, email me at todd.maxwell@open-e.com and I will provide you a meeting number and schedule a time.

Also you can send me logs at this address to see if I can see anything that might be causing the issue.
