All... The general consensus is that iSCSI, while great in theory, is, in practice, not yet ready. I agree with that. For the past several months (not continuously), I have had several problems with using a QLogic QLA4010C in a Sunfire V240 with Solaris 9 (patched only to 112233-11 (01/04) to match our cluster environment). First, I'm annoyed by having to use a Java "management" application to simply configure the card. It escapes me how Java has become as popular as it seems to be. Second, I can configure the QLA4010C to look to the EqualLogic box for devices, but it cannot seem to find anything available. Third, and most importantly, if I add or delete volumes on the EqualLogic device, the QLA4010C "loses" its configuration data, and requires a _power-off_ shutdown of the V240 in order to use it again. Many thanks to Ilya Birman, Chuck, Michael DeSimone, and Erek Adams. I received an extremely helpful and insightful reply from someone who asked that I not identify them in the summary. I would be remiss, however, if I didn't acknowledge their input. Finally, what summary would be complete without mentioning those "thoughtful" enough to inform me that they were out of the office?
