iSCSI is for free
but
you need a software subscription. You need it as well to upgrade to ONTAP 6.4 (preferably 6.5.6)

We have a similar problem. 2 840's, a terrabyte of drives and a pretty cabinet. No CIFS license.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
But we aren't using the filer as a door stopper! Steve Colvin / IT Manager SER-Jobs for Progress of the Texas Gulf Coast, Inc. 6615 Rookin Street Houston, TX 77074 Ofc: 713-773-6000, Ext. 340 Fax: 713-773-6018 steve.colvin@serhouston.org www.serhouston.org

They are only free to customers who have licensed a NAS protocol (CIFS or NFS).
Evidenced by the fact that you must log into the NOW site to get the iSCSI license key....

is it licensed? without an nfs or cifs license, your not going to be able to export anything or make any available shares.
type 'license' on the console to see
