Try inserting a delay into the iscsi init script in the beginning of the start clause. Depending on the delays in your netwrok and the NIC drivers being used I've found values of between 30 and 60 seconds worked for me. Regards, Wayne.

I added the line: node.session.initial_login_retry_max = 8 I even made the value as high as 20 with no change during boot up. Then I added NETWORKDELAY=20 to /etc/sysconfig/network and I still see: iscsiadm: Could not login session (err 4) iscsiadm: initiator reported error (4 - encountered connection failure) when I boot the machine. After the machine as booted, I restart iscsi, clvmd, and gfs and everything works. Sometimes I hate computers. Thanks, Randy Bryn M.

I am assuming this is the same thing as increasing the time value here: No. Timeouts and retries are separate settings. The problem is usually that the iSCSI subsystems tries to access the SAN before the network has fully come up. You can also tweak the network delay setting in /etc/sysconfig/network. Set the variable NETWORKDELAY to a value (in seconds) and the network scripts will sleep for this period of time after bringing all interfaces up. This should allow time for your network to be fully up before the iscsi service starts.
