Re: Does the TARGET server need to be running a 64 bit OS if the initiator wants to run a 64 bit OS?

A few reasons, maybe vastly different controller setups from initiator to target host?
So if you boot the disc back into the initiator host, it works again? Try booting that
host with a Linux based iso like SystemRescueCd, its small, then dd from that and just
use `dd if=/dev/sda of=...` and let it stop when it hits the end of the disc if the whole
disc was used anyway.

You can actually dd from the ini host once booted directly to the image on the target
(make sure the iscsi target is not accessing the existing image) with a cmd like this:
dd if=/dev/sda |ssh [email protected] 'dd of=/path/image.img'

Good luck,
