Open Stack

Greetings,

I've gone through archives and performed searches, etc etc and have been unable to find a fix for this so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it for me here... Environment is (quite unfortunately) a desktop PC running VMware Player with an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VM (kernel 3.2.50-030250-virtual).  I've been successful in getting the identity service and image service both up and running and now I'm stuck.. Here's the error, which FWIW was posted on the cinder-install.html page under the Grizzly install docs too:

2013-08-27 13:04:27 ERROR [cinder.volume.iscsi] Failed to create iscsi target for volume id:volume-dbbeac52-b86a-4ed9-8a31-111f79a79092.

ISCSITargetCreateFailed: Failed to create iscsi target for volume volume-dbbeac52-b86a-4ed9-8a31-111f79a79092.

Additional notes:
- RabbitMQ is running and can be connected to
- open-iscsi and iscsitarget are both installed/running
- already changed the tgt/conf.d/ files as ppl referenced in the comments..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx!
