iSCSI and OS X Lion
iSCSI and OS X Lion
I'm trying to get my feet wet with iSCSI and have hit a roadblock
http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=815
http://www.snsftp.com/public/globalsan/
Using the initiator and instructions from the link above I connected to a 2GB iscsi volume on my nas 6 ultra plus (4.2.17). It's shown as connected via system preferences, frontview shows LUN 0 with a 2GB capacity, but I don't see the volume anywhere. Disk Utility doesn't see it either. I selected no authorization. Did I miss a step?

- Have you verified with GlobalSan that their initiator supports Lion?
- I've tried to get a response from the company, but haven't had any luck yet. If anyone is brave enough to try it tomorrow, please post your results back here!
- I posted a topic on the SNS Forums a few days ago, and someone posted this a few minutes ago...
http://www.snsforums.com/index.php?showtopic=482I can only tell you that I've just upgraded to Lion and my iSCSI volumes are not available...
The initiator (4.1 b279) shows the target as "Connected, Persistent" (green light) however the volumes
are not available for mounting in Disk Utility.... REAL problem, I have all my stuff on those volumes.
I guess a solution will be available, the question is when ?!
:cry: - Lion also kills Time Machine for ReadyNAS users, joy, joy. So if your TM backup is on an iSCSI volume, you're doubly-screwed.
- Not true
NAS issues with Lion and TM relate purely to backing up over AFP - completely separate issue vs iSCSI sphardy wrote: Not true

Well duh :)
So sorry for the off-topic remark. My point being that even if you had iSCSI working under Lion for TM, ReadyNAS couldn't use it now anyway.
Edit: Ha! that off-topic TM is fixed for x86 users with firmware 4.2.18 release.jocala wrote: My point being that even if you had iSCSI working under Lion for TM, ReadyNAS couldn't use it now anyway.
Is that really what you meant to say? If so, again - not true.
iSCSI support and TM extensions to AFP in Lion are 2 completely unrelated technologies - one does not rely on the other in any way.sphardy wrote: jocala wrote: My point being that even if you had iSCSI working under Lion for TM, ReadyNAS couldn't use it now anyway.

Who said they did? Not me.- Then your claim makes no sense at all to me
- Can anyone from Netgear talk to any testing (and subsequent results) that the team has done in regards to iSCSI and OSX 10.7 using the latest GlobalSAN initiator?
Is anyone using the ATTO Xtend initiator that can confirm it works with the ReadyNAS line and 10.7?
