a Edit (or verify) that the node.startup = manual line is disabled.

bEdit (or verify) that the node.startup = automatic line is enabled. This will enable automatic startup of the service at boot time.

cVerify that the following time-out value is set to 144: node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 144

dSave and close the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.

5From the console, restart the iSCSI service with the following command: service iscsi start

6Verify that the iSCSI service is running during boot using the following command from the console: chkconfig iscsi on

7To display the available iscsi targets at the specified IP address, use the following command: iscsiadm –m discovery –t st -p <IP_address_of_iSCSI_port>

8After target discovery, use the following command to manually login: iscsiadm -m node –l

This logon will be performed automatically at startup if automatic startup is enabled.

9Manually log out of the session using the following command:

iscsiadm -m node -T <initiator_username> -p <target_ip> -u
