   Hi list,

   I'm having troubles to get an iscsi initiator working on a domU.
   As dom0 and domU I use a Centos 5 with the 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5
   xen-kernel.
   As iscsi initiator i use the iscsi-initiator-utils of the Centos5
   repo.
   The problem is, that when I log in to my iscsi target on the domU
   it is recognized as /dev/sda1.
   Now sda1 is also my root partition on the domU. And when I mount
   it I've mounted the root partition and not the iscsi device.

   Has anyone had this problem yet? Is there a solution to make it
   recognized as e.g. /dev/sdb ?

   Any help and tips would be appreciated.


You should be able to setup a udev rule that will recognize the drives and correctly set them up.

take a look here:

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I just tried it that way.
Only problem is, that it creates a link that links to the same /dev/sda1.
So if I mount the new /dev/iscsi_11 device it will mount again the root filesystem.
Are there other possible options? Or isn't it at all possible?

Take a look at:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/
 

Thanks for some hints.

Regards, Lino
