I have set up several iSCSI targets for Microsoft hosts with no problems. However, using the same target and making the appropriate changes to LUN masking, I cannot get a connection from any of my IBM hosts running AIX 5.3. I've tried all the combinations of iqn numbers, IP's, port numbers, etc that I can find; I've even tried reading the EMC and IBM docs I can get hold of but still cannot get a connection made. I get a Celerra server_log to indicate we are sending an iSCSI request but the connection isn't made and the LUN is not available.

I suspect there may be an initiator driver, like the Microsoft iSCSI client, that needs to be loaded or configured.

If anyone has experience or thoughts to help us out, please respond.
