Well,

maybe try something like "rpm -ql open-iscsi | grep -i initiator". The script 
says:
# Copyright (c) 2007 Hannes Reinecke, SUSE Linux Products GmbH.
# All rights reserved.

so it's probably part of SLES only.

The script uses /sbin/iscsi-iname to create a new initiator name unless on 
already exists. The lines to create that are
        ISSUEDATE="1996-04"
        INAME=$(/sbin/iscsi-iname -p iqn.$ISSUEDATE.de.suse:01)
        printf "InitiatorName=$INAME\n"  >>/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
        chmod 0600 /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

I wonder whether the initiator-name is actually confidential (chmod). Also note 
that the iscsi-iname lacks a manual page and proper usage information (here):
# /sbin/iscsi-iname -h

Displays the iSCSI initiator name

#

Note that the description is actually a lie: It SUGGESTS a initiatorname, as 
can be seen from trying:
# /sbin/iscsi-iname
iqn.2005-03.org.open-iscsi:d4623acbe55
# /sbin/iscsi-iname
iqn.2005-03.org.open-iscsi:dd2051ef6ad2

Regards,
Ulrich
