You need to set up an Oracle Solaris 11 host as an iSCSI target so that the host's disk can be accessed over a storage network. The disk device is c3t4d0. Which six options describe the steps that…

Options

• ACreate a ZFS file system named iscsi/target.
• BCreate a zpool named iscsi with disk device c3t4d0

• EUse the stmfadm command to create a LUN using iscsi/target.
• FUse the stmfadm command to make the LUN viewable.
• GUse the stmfadm command to make the volume viewable.

Explanation

Setting up an iSCSI target on Solaris 11 requires a specific sequence: first build a storage pool from the physical disk (B), then carve out a ZFS volume - not a filesystem - as the block device to export (C), register that raw device path with the SCSI Target Mode Framework as a LUN (D), add a view so initiators can discover it (F), and finally enable the iSCSI target SMF service to bring it online (H).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because iSCSI requires a zvol (block device), not a ZFS file system - file systems expose a POSIX interface, not raw block storage.
• E is wrong because stmfadm needs the full raw device path (/dev/zvol/rdsk/iscsi/target), not the ZFS dataset name; the kernel can't resolve a dataset name to a LUN.
• G is wrong because the correct object to make viewable is the LUN (registered with stmfadm), not the volume itself - the volume is just the backing store.

Note: The question asks for six steps but only five correct answers (B, C, D, F, H) are listed - this is likely a question error; the missing sixth step in a real deployment is typically enabling the STMF service (svc:/system/stmf) or creating a target with itadm.

Memory tip: Think Pool → Volume → LUN → View → Service - you build up layers from physical disk to network-accessible target, and stmfadm bridges the ZFS world to the SCSI world using the raw (rdsk) device path.
