FYI All...
A temporary workaround to keep the iSCSI drives connected is to allow "Any" initiator to connect to the drive.
Extremely poor QA'ing by Netgear here, but out of desparation, this will allow operations to continue until a patch is released.
Cheers,

The 6.7.0 FW is expected to be released and solve those issues!
Unfortunatly we have to deal with it!
Is this why I've been fighting iSCSI issues connecting to a single target/LUN from two separate initiators for the last 4 hours??? because, unless something has changed... CHAP and authentication are required to connect from multiple hosts...
First host works; the second gives me an authentication error and/or "service unavailable"
Yup, they screwed it up hard... sent my whole environment AWOL
Only way I have it stable now is to disable all CHAP authentication from all ISCSI Drives, and have them wide open to allow Any connection to the share.
I always said I'll never buy a Netgear again and I did... Looks like I should have stuck with my gut....
