Getting EMC Celerras to work for iscsi on Solaris 10

For fun and profit!
Basically, for my own categorization:
1. Celerra-side:
Create filesystems (I am using 4 because I want to stripe across all 4:
nas_fs -n iscsiRAID1_5g -c size=5G pool=clar_r5_performance
nas_fs -n iscsiRAID2_5g -c size=5G pool=clar_r5_performance
nas_fs -n iscsiRAID3_5g -c size=5G pool=clar_r5_performance
nas_fs -n iscsiRAID4_5g -c size=5G pool=clar_r5_performance
Mount filesystems:
server_mount server_2 iscsiRAID1_5g /iscsiRAID1_5g
(repeat for all 4 filesystems)
Create iscsi target:
server_iscsi server_2 -target -alias [...]
