Trying to set up a number of initiators on CentOS 5.5 with a Dell

I've successfully configured several other identical initiators with
these targets.

     $ export DP=<dataport IP>
     $ sudo iscsiadm -m discoverydb -t sendtargets -p $DP:3260
     iscsiadm: Discovery record [$DP,3260] not found.


I've got records in /var/lib/iscsi/ifaces, but no other /var/lib/iscsi/
subdirectories.

Have you done discovery to that address,port or done a -o new to
create a db discovery record for it? If not then that is what you
would expect.

You can do


sudo iscsiadm -m discoverydb -t sendtargets -p $DP:3260 -D

without the -D, then iscsiadm is just looking for the discovery
record for that discovery address,port.

To have iscsiadm try to do discovery pass it the -D argument or do
the old style

iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip:port
(no db in the discovery mode name).

The second command ("-m discovery") works.  "-m discoverydb" doesn't

OK, that raises another question:  what's the difference between
"discovery" mode and "discoverydb" mode?  I'd been under the impression
that "discoverydb" was a synonym for "discovery" (or vice versa).
Apparently not.

discoverydb mode will use the discovery values found in /var/lib/sendtargets/ip,port if found. discovery mode will use the iscsid.conf settings.
