In this Document
Applies to:Sun ZFS Storage 7120 - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]Sun ZFS Storage 7320 - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] Sun ZFS Storage 7420 - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] Sun Storage 7310 Unified Storage System - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] 7000 Appliance OS (Fishworks) Purpose*Purpose This document helps you determine the cause of iSCSI problems on the Oracle ZFS Strorage Appliance (ZFSSA), it will guides you through identifying causes for iSCSI connectivity problems. To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the My Oracle Support Community - 7000 Series ZFS Appliances
Troubleshooting StepsiSCSI problems falls into the following categories.
Performance ProblemsPlease refer to the respective product documentation for performance issues on the initiator side. However, if you have reason to believe the initiator performance is not the issue and the performance problem is caused by ZFSSA, refer to the following document. Initiator Host Boot ProblemsIf you are experiencing problems booting initiator hosts from an iSCSI LUN on the ZFSSA, and your initiator host is running Oracle Solaris operating system, please refer to respective product documentation. Currently iSCSI boot is supported only on Solaris 11. Connectivity ProblemsiSCSI connectivity problems will reside in the following areas:
Identifying if ZFSSA Is Presenting the LUN to the initiator host correctly:Initiator hosts may have difficulties accessing to iSCSI LUNs on ZFSSA when one or more of the following criteria are met.
In order to make sure ZFSSA is presenting iSCSI LUN correctly, check if the following criteria are met.Check initiator side IQN is defined correctly.

<Document 1395923.1> Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System: How to check LUN properties on ZFSSA. Identifying if ZFSSA Discovery Is Set up Correctly:This section is valid ONLY WHEN you are using iSNS as a discovery method of iSCSI devices from the host. Identifying ZFSSA Authentication Problems:iSCSI initiators cannot communicate to the iSCSI targets when the initiator and the target do not agree on the authentication method, or authentication is not successful. The following document will help identify what authentication mechanism is used against the iSCSI targets.
None
RADIUS
Refer to the following documents to identify your CHAP names iSCSI Network Connectivity InformationThe following are iSCSI related services and port numbers. The port number should be open to enable initiators, targets and iSCSI related services to communicate to each other.
