Folks, I really fear this one is a FAQ somewhere, but I can't find the answer to it.
My problem is that discovering new targets overwrites any custom settings that have been applied to targets that already exist on a given portal. Here is the sequence of events I'd like to do: 1) Create an iscsi target in our iscsi SAN (based on IET). 2) On the server that wants to use that target, do 'iscsiadm -m discovery...' to discover the target. 3) We use chap, so set the username/password with 'iscsiadm -m node -T... -o update...' 4) Log in and use that target. (Up to here everything is great) 5) Sometime in the future (hours to months) add a new target in the iscsi SAN. 6) On the same server, do a discovery to discover this new target. 7) Set the username/password for the new target. 8) Log in to the new target and use the new target. The problem is that when we do the discovery in step 6, it wipes out the username/password and any other customizations we've put in the record for the target that was discovered in step 2. When we have only a few targets it's easy enough to reset all the username/passwords, but this is going to get cumbersome when we have quite a few targets. Is there a way to discover a new target without overwriting the existing target database? Thanks, -Ty! -- -===========================- Ty!
