Hello, we have a problem with the iscsi initiator on Solaris 10. As soon
as we run it it goes into maintenance. Also iscsiadm does not work.

# iscsiadm list discovery
iscsiadm: unexpected OS error
iscsiadm: Unable to complete operation

Hardware is a Sun V480.
We did an upgrade from Solaris 8 to 10.

I have a working iscsi system at the following patch level:

$ patchadd -p | grep -i iscsi

Patch: 119090-22 Obsoletes: 121980-03 123500-02 Requires: 118833-25
Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWiscsir SUNWiscsiu
Patch: 119092-10 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages:
SUNWiscsir

$ uname -a
SunOS <snip> 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R


Can you do a:

# iscsiadm list discovery
Discovery:
Static: disabled
Send Targets: enabled
iSNS: disabled

Make sure the one of the methods is enabled.
