The basic operation of iSCSI goes something like this:

1. poke things to discover what iSCSI targets you have available, then
2. login to each target, creating sessions and discovering whatiSCSI devices (eg, disks) they have available, then
3. talk to those iSCSI devices over the sessions you've createdto actually do things.

There are three sorts of discovery: static configuration, SendTarget,and iSNS. Static configuration is the least convenient, because itrequires you to know the target's full iSCSI name as well as its

An end node machine connecting in through a VPN has two IP addresses;one IP address that is inside the VPN (call it I), and its normal IPaddress outside the VPN (call it O). The outside address is sometimescalled the wild side address, because it is accessibly by the wildInternet.

A lot of writing about VPNs assumes that I and O are disjoint from eachother, effectively on completely isolated networks; I talks to thecorporate network behind the VPN and only the corporate network,

Very interesting things can turn up while you are testing Solaris 10iSCSI support make sure it behaves nicely in the face of dead logicaldisks. Like, say:
