IBM Power Ideas Portal
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas and add comments to ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The Power teams will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

IBM Unified Ideas Portal - https://ideas.ibm.com/ - Use this site to create or search for existing Ideas across all IBM products that are outside of Power, and track all of your personal interactions with all Ideas.
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM not implement this request. The vendor should emulate the IBM hardware as other vendors have successfully done.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

Its probably the firewall on the VTL which is preventing the connection and not the distribution. Try with firewall disabled, or try telnet 3260 to see if you can make a connection to the VTL iscsi daemon port. Try with the latest version of the quadstor vtl.
Quadstor runs perfect on FC which (as general view) also allows Save21 in restricted mode and IPL.
IBM i can connect to quadstor vtl devices over iSCSI. @Guest maybe you havent installed alll the correct PTFs or maybe you haven't configured the connection correctly.
