What version of open-iscsi are you using? In newer versions you can do: iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -ip -o new -o delete This will add new records for portals not in the db using iscsid.conf info and delete portals that are not returned by the target. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
