node.startup should be renamed record.startup. The possible values are automatic, manual and onboot. When the init scripts start they can run over the the db and check which records that the users has requested autoatmic startup for and login at that time. onboot is used to for the session used for boot/root. It just signals the tools to handle it differently. During shutdown for example we cannot kill that session when the init script stop is done, because it is still needed for root. manual is used because a lot of targets will return all the portals on the target. Some of these portals may be disabled or not even connected to the network. Instead of iscsiadm/iscsid wasting time trying to log in admins can mark them as manual and the init scripts will not auto start them. Why not just delete them of they cannot be used? I do not know. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
