hey guys am tryin to set iscsi initiator (client) on my RHEL 5  babe
ive already disabled CHAP on both side ( initiator and target)
anyway result ( echo $? = 1 )
:(         :(         :(
      :(        :(
            :(

# NIC/HBA and driver settings

# open-iscsi can create a session and bind it to a NIC/HBA.
# To set this up see the example iface config file.

# Startup settings
#*****************

# To request that the iscsi initd scripts startup a session set to
"automatic".
# node.startup = automatic
#
# To manually startup the session set to "manual". The default is
automatic.

# *************
# CHAP Settings
# *************

# To enable CHAP authentication set node.session.auth.authmethod
# to CHAP. The default is None.
#node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP

# To set a CHAP username and password for initiator
# authentication by the target(s), uncomment the following lines:
#node.session.auth.username = joe

# To set a CHAP username and password for target(s)
# authentication by the initiator, uncomment the following lines:
#node.session.auth.username_in = joe
#node.session.auth.password_in = 123456789123

# To enable CHAP authentication for a discovery session to the target
# set discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod to CHAP. The default is
None.
#discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP

# To set a discovery session CHAP username and password for the
initiator
# authentication by the target(s), uncomment the following lines:

# ********
# Timeouts
# ********
#
# See the iSCSI REAME's Advanced Configuration section for tips
# on setting timeouts when using multipath or doing root over iSCSI.
#
# To specify the length of time to wait for session re-establishment
# before failing SCSI commands back to the application when running
# the Linux SCSI Layer error handler, edit the line.
# The value is in seconds and the default is 120 seconds.

# to the target edit this the line.
# The value is in seconds and the default is 10 seconds.
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 10

# To specify the time to wait for a Nop-out response before failing
# the connection, edit this line. Failing the connection will
# cause IO to be failed back to the SCSI layer. If using dm-multipath
# this will cause the IO to be failed to the multipath layer.
# The value is in seconds and the default is 15 seconds.
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 15


#******
# Retry
#******

# To speficy the number of times iscsiadm should retry a login
# to the target when we first login, modify the following line.
# The default is 4. Valid values are any integer value. This only
# affects the initial login. Setting it to a high value can slow
# down the iscsi service startup. Setting it to a low value can
# cause a session to not get logged into, if there are distuptions
# during startup or if the network is not ready at that time.

################################
# session and device queue depth
################################

# To control how many commands the session will queue set
# node.session.cmds_max to an integer between 2 and 2048 that is also
# a power of 2. The default is 128.

#***************
# iSCSI settings
#***************

# To enable R2T flow control (i.e., the initiator must wait for an R2T
# command before sending any data), uncomment the following line:
#
#node.session.iscsi.InitialR2T = Yes
#
# To disable R2T flow control (i.e., the initiator has an implied
# initial R2T of "FirstBurstLength" at offset 0), uncomment the
following line:
#
# The defaults is No.

#node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = No
#
# To enable immediate data (i.e., the initiator sends unsolicited data
# with the iSCSI command packet), uncomment the following line:

# The default is Yes
node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = Yes

# To specify the maximum number of unsolicited data bytes the
initiator
# can send in an iSCSI PDU to a target, edit the following line.

# The value is the number of bytes in the range of 512 to (2^24-1) and
# the default is 262144

# To specify the maximum SCSI payload that the initiator will
negotiate

# To specify the maximum number of data bytes the initiator can

# in an iSCSI PDU from a target, edit the following line.

# The value is the number of bytes in the range of 512 to (2^24-1) and

# To specify the maximum number of data bytes the initiator can

# in an iSCSI PDU from a target during a discovery session, edit the
# following line.

# The value is the number of bytes in the range of 512 to (2^24-1) and
# the default is 32768
#
discovery.sendtargets.iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 32768

# To allow the targets to control the setting of the digest checking,
# with the initiator requesting a preference of enabling the checking,
uncommen
# the following lines (Data digests are not supported and on ppc/ppc64
# both header and data digests are not supported.):
#node.conn[0].iscsi.HeaderDigest = CRC32C,None
#
# To allow the targets to control the setting of the digest checking,
# with the initiator requesting a preference of disabling the
checking,
# uncomment the following lines:
#node.conn[0].iscsi.HeaderDigest = None,CRC32C
#
# To enable CRC32C digest checking for the header and/or data part of
# iSCSI PDUs, uncomment the following lines:
#node.conn[0].iscsi.HeaderDigest = CRC32C
#
# To disable digest checking for the header and/or data part of
# iSCSI PDUs, uncomment the following lines:
#node.conn[0].iscsi.HeaderDigest = None
#
# The default is to never use DataDigests and to allow the target to
control
# the setting of the HeaderDigest checking with the initiator
requesting
# a preference of disabling the checking.

#************
# Workarounds
#************

# Some targets like IET prefer after an initiator has sent a task
# management function like an ABORT TASK or LOGICAL UNIT RESET, that
# it does not respond to PDUs like R2Ts. To enable this behavior
uncomment
# the following line (The default behavior is No):
# node.session.iscsi.FastAbort = Yes

# Some targets like Equalogic prefer that after an initiator has sent
# a task management function like an ABORT TASK or LOGICAL UNIT RESET,
that
# it continue to respond to R2Ts. To enable this uncomment this line
(This
# is the default behavior):
node.session.iscsi.FastAbort = No

******

even our friend google didnt help
i cant find any solution   @ all
except ,,,, migrate to window ( setup in Window --Next then ---Next
then --- finish --Done
then lets party not like linux @ all )
although migration process usually bring many problems and ( big
delay)
:)
