Restart the iSCSI daemon by executing the following command from the console:
/etc/init.d/iscsi restart

If you are using RHEL 5 or SLES 10 SP1
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for RHEL version 5 and SLES 10 SP1 distributions is done by
modifying the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file, which is installed by default when you install MD Storage
Manager. You can edit the file directly, or replace the default file with a sample file included on the
MD3000i Resource CD.
To use the sample file included on the CD:
1
Save the default
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
file by naming it to another name of your choice.
2
Copy the appropriate sample file from
/linux/etc
on the CD to
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
.
3
Rename the sample file to
iscsid.conf
.
