virtualBox iSCSI initiator to ReadyNAS
I'm trying to get VirtualBox (Ubuntu) to use its built in iSCSI initiator to make use of an ISCSI target I created on my RN102. Having some problems, maybe someone can help.
I used the steps on this website to create the iSCSI and all looks good:
http://scarygliders.net/2011/11/04/virtualbox-and-iscsi-nas-how-to-linux-windows/
I can get the VM to attach the iSCSI target to the VM with the command line, and it shows up in virtualbox's virtual media manager, however unlike the tutorial above, it does not show the 50gb space, it rather shows a message that its "checking..". And then it spins forever like that. I am able to try to go ahead and try to start the VM, but it just blocks forever too, I guess waiting for the iSCSI target connection.
Does anyone have any experience doing something like this? I wonder if there is a special trick to get virtualBox initiator to connect to the ReadyNAS iSCSI target.
