Thanks for you suggestions here. I installed the iscsi-initiator- utils using yum as you suggested, restarted the system and now service iscsi start will start cleanly, only reporting "No records found!"
Peforming the following: iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.100.4 does result in displaying the targets but when I perform: iscsiadm -m node -l I still get the result: Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn. 1986-03.com.hp:storage.msa2012i.0824d5872b.a, portal: 192.168.100.4,3260] iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: default, target: iqn. 1986-03.com.hp:storage.msa2012i.0824d5872b.a, portal: 192.168.100.4,3260]: iscsiadm: initiator reported error (12 - iSCSI driver not found. Please make sure it is loaded, and retry the operation) I Googled the "12 - iSCSI driver not found" but without any conclusive results. Getting close but not getting the horseshoe on or around the post... Any thoughts? Thanks.
