Issue finding ISCI target with ReadyNAS DUO

Hi , im trying to set up an ISCI target it on my ReadyNAS DUO, I followed http://readynasfreeware.org/projects/nas-iscsi-target/wiki/New_Version and http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/2009/09/creating-an-iscsi-target-on-a-netgear-readynas.htm however when I try and find the target with Microsoft iSCSI Initiator after adding the IP under discovery, and refreshing targets. The target does not appear, I'm pretty sure i am using all the default setting.I also have tryed to locate it in the Vsphere to use a datastore however it can't find it either. Using WinSCP I checked on the NAS and the ISCI file is there so it add correctly. I also have checked by starting using SSH and it does work. "backup:/etc/iet# /etc/init.d/rfw-iscsi-target start
Starting iSCSI Target: ietd.".

config file main parts is-
Target iqn.2001-04.com.example:readyduo.iscsi.target0
Lun 0 Path=/c/iscsi_0,Type=fileio

Thanks For your help
Steven

  • Chances are that there was a stale pid file lying around which made the iSCSI daemon start script believe that there was already an instance up and running and thus it didn't really restart where it should have. A reboot cleans out alk the stale pid files so maybe that was all that was needed.
