The "icscictl -L" and also netstat lists one of the pool addresses not the initial and configured address. So my client with, lets say, address 1.1.1.101 has the address e.g. 1.1.1.1 in his iscsi.conf but will than connect to one of the pool IPs 1.1.1.2 - 1.1.1.9 on port 3260 It works just fine with the VMware vSphere hosts... :/ Ekki --OSreicVWPwlo6UGJo6cECjPENGi14gISA-- --5GAKg0T89yjWKeNPJZkQWtG27k6MmW5MJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="OpenPGP_signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="OpenPGP_signature" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- wmMEABEIACMWIQSyS/1dgH7dA1TlJQLcAzNBjqfO5gUCYAK5dAUDAAAAAAAKCRDcAzNBjqfO5sBE AKCckbAVfnPs1Q48V+bQxm2VBag61gCgtZoyalkV/3LAvWtliViU7mYqLd0= =cLeG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5GAKg0T89yjWKeNPJZkQWtG27k6MmW5MJ--
