Guys, The Kernsafe iSCSI initiator can be taken off this list in my opinion. The product is a proprietary solution, and only works with their San (Target) software. You cannot use this product for connecting to any other vendors iSCSI targets such as a NAS from Synology, or Netgear, etc. I see a lot of people talking about it, but I'd say that not a lot of people have used it.
GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator is a network protocol standard that enables the transport of block-level I/O over TCP/IP. When deployed over a Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet network, an iSCSI-based. Download free acer aspire one d255 windows 7 starter recovery disc iso software.
If one did, they would very quickly realise that it won't work. It does not discover any other vendors iSCSI targets at all. Looking at the forums on their website, a number of people have asked for support, but Kernsafe have finally responded with a strange message suggesting Apple are no longer providing Certificates to 3rd parties.??
I have posted a question that has not been approved by the moderator yet, asking to clarify the situation, but I suspect we'll be waiting a while to see that post. Regards BL . From the site's page: ' Disable kext signing before attempting to install the initiator. Prior to El Capitan (that is, OS X versions 10.10 and below), this is achieved by running sudo nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1 In El Capitan, this is achieved by running csrutil disable at the Recover OS terminal window (see the System Integrity Protection Guide for more details). In both cases, a reboot is required.'
That should make it a non-starter (certainly so for any of my clients) as far as I'm concerned. Atto's software (although $195.00) has always been well-regarded and recommended.
I don't think singing it yourself would satisfy SIP, I think it has to be signed by Apple to get past it but I could be wrong. Disabling SIP isn't really that big of an issue for me but YMMV. I'd like to try iSCSI Initiator 1.0.0-beta2 out myself but I haven't had any luck getting the the installer to build, a couple of the modules fail to build and thus the.pkg isn't complete and fails it's post install script. I'm building on 10.11.5 with Xcode 7.3.1. I'll file a bug on the github and see if I can get it sorted, I'd really like to try this out.. The current version of KernSafe does claim to work with Yosemite.
I downloaded it and I can discover my target. (At least if I tell it to be visible without CHAP -- while CHAP is offered for the data session, they don't seem to support it for the discovery session.) Unfortunately, I can't log in because the initiator appears to treat an iSCSI Redirect message as an error. That's a violation of the spec: the RFC is very clear that redirect is not an error. And since my target always uses redirect, it seems I'm stuck.
We've now received a very small number of reports of this symptom, and even fewer specific details about it. We're investigating what could be the cause, but need more information.
Please post details on • Your Mac (model name, model identifier) • Your target device (manufacturer, model, firmware, configuration) you're using • How you got to OS X 10.8.2 (e.g. Combo Update, Software Update, New Mac w/ 10.8.2 already installed) Thanks! Edited September 24, 2012 by Eric Newbauer expanding on requested details. Shat sirun axjka nkar. @svenc, just want to clarify chronology for benefit of the thread: • Sep 23: First instance of this problem reported • Sep 24: We issued an, with a suspicion the issue was specific to Ivy Bridge models • Sep 26: We confirmed Ivy Bridge suspicion and created a fix and began testing it, with a stated possible beta release date of week of Oct. 1 • Sep 28: Issued beta fix to customers in private beta list and gathered their feedback • Oct 3: Released beta fix publicly @ewwhite, the problem was confirmed to be an issue in the globalSAN driver related to the CPU architecture of recent Macs based on Ivy Bridge Thanks to all for the updates.
