Hi,

thanks for all your input.

We will upgrade the kernel. The system should be moved from ESX virtualixation to XEN anyway. 
As soon as I have this postfix on my XEN Cluster I can offer the iscsi targets from within dom0 and everything is fine.

Thanks a lot. I was surprised seeing this hardened sources :-) 


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Kai Zemke

"Linux/i386 2.6.39-hardened-r8 Kernel Configuration"

Here's the result of a search for "iscsi" :

Symbol: ISCSI_TCP [=n]
Type  : tristate
Prompt: iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP
  Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:350
  Depends on: SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=n] && SCSI [=y] && INET [=y]
  Location:
    -> Device Drivers
      -> SCSI device support
        -> SCSI low-level drivers (SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=n])
  Selects: CRYPTO [=y] && CRYPTO_MD5 [=y] && CRYPTO_CRC32C [=n] && SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS [=n]
