Hi! I'm playing with the discovery database and authentication with SELES 11 SP1: I failed to change values in existing discovery (sendtargets) records using "iscsiadm -m node -d 1 -p $p -o update -o new -n var -v val": "iscsiadm: operation is not supported."
So how would it work? Also, would it work for newly created entries as well? Where would the settings from iscsid.conf be effective? (Some Internet docs evenb say one must restart iscsid after changing the config file; true?) Can I change multiple variables in one call, i.e. "iscaiadm ... -n x -v y -n y -v z ..."? Note: Having read the iSCSI RFC on authentication, I'm not surprised that people have a lot of trouble with it: They use different terms like: data origin authentication, target to initiator, initiator to taget, initiator authentication, target authentication, etc. And the concrete example with CHAP uses placeholders for the actual parameter exchange... To Mike: I'd think it would be helpful if the debug messages from iscsiadm that show the parameter exchanges would use a prefix of ">" for sent data, and use a prefix of "<" for received data. Currently the prefix is always ">", and you'll have to read the preceeding lines to find out the direction of trannsfer. Especially for two-way auth with CHAP this can become confusing... To Hannes: If I use "woman" in Emacs to read the iscsiadm manual page the top line says: "ISCSIADM(8) -- Sep 2006 -- Linux Administrator's Manual" (SLES 11 SP1 with all updates) The usual "man" doesn't display that, but I've founf the source in iscsiadm.8.gz: .TH ISCSIADM 8 "Sep 2006" "" "Linux Administrator's Manual" I hope the manual page is newer than that ;-) Regards, Ulrich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
