You might need to send email to storage-discuss to query how well Solaris iSCSI target and COMSTAR support SCSI reservation and SCSI 3 PGR. I think if SCSI 2 reservation and SCSI3 PGR are supported well, you are suppose to setup a iSCSI HA cluster successfully.

Hey,
I've been digging around for ages now trying to find the answer, but keep hitting old resources saying iSCSI targets not tested yet etc.
Basically is it possible yet to build a HA iSCSI cluster? There seems to be so many different projects that cover part of the process (e.g. COMSTAR) but I can't seem to find a way of combining it all to provide a fully redundant, seamless failover storage system.
The fact that products like Nexentastor exist seems to hint that its not possible with current open projects?
Thanks in advance,
Andy.

Yes, COMSTAR's LU provider supports SCSI 3 PGR, but this is a SCSI Target property.
HA iSCSI Clusters is an iSCSI Initiator side problem set, where not only is there a requirement for SCSI-3 PGR, but also HA support for the TCP/IP path between the iSCSI Initiator and iSCSI Target.
