1 Hi,
2
3 thanks for all your input.

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

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

54 Symbol: ISCSI_TCP [=n]
55 Type : tristate
56 Prompt: iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP
57 Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:350
58 Depends on: SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=n] && SCSI [=y] && INET [=y]
59 Location:
60 -> Device Drivers
61 -> SCSI device support
62 -> SCSI low-level drivers (SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=n])
