I was asked to share out the pool on the X4500 via NFS and iSCIS. NFS I was familiar with, and have used a fair amount. iSCSI for all its new hotness factor, I've never touched.

I was unsurprised, but pleased, with how trivial it is to set up.

On the server (the target):

x4500# zfs create tank/iscsi
x4500# zfs set shareiscsi=on tank/iscsi
x4500# zfs create -s -V 25g tank/iscsi/vol001
x4500# zfs create -s -V 25g tank/iscsi/vol002
x4500# zfs create -s -V 25g tank/iscsi/vol003
x4500# zfs create -s -V 25g tank/iscsi/vol004
x4500# zfs create -s -V 25g tank/iscsi/vol005
x4500# zfs create -s -V 25g tank/iscsi/vol006
x4500# zfs list tank
tank                      1.39G  13.3T  53.3K  /tank
tank/iscsi                1.54M  13.3T  44.8K  /tank/iscsi
tank/iscsi/vol001          246K  13.3T   246K  -
tank/iscsi/vol002          246K  13.3T   246K  -
tank/iscsi/vol003          247K  13.3T   247K  -
tank/iscsi/vol004          262K  13.3T   262K  -
tank/iscsi/vol005          263K  13.3T   263K  -
tank/iscsi/vol006          264K  13.3T   264K  -
tank/nfs                  1.39G  13.3T  1.39G  /tank/nfs

This will start the iSCSI service (iscsigtd) and share not only the parent volume (tank/iscsi) but all the children as well.

Accessing and using the disks on the client (the initiator) is just as easy:

client# iscsiadm modify discovery --sendtargets enable
client# iscsiadm add discovery-address 10.0.100.40
client# svcadm enable initiator
client# iscsiadm list target

Very nice.
