Dear All,

We are using RHEL 6.6 and iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.873-13 in our test 
environment and have modified following timeout and retry values in 
iscsi.conf file:

node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 30(previously 180 by default)

node.session.initial_login_retry_max = 1(previously 8 by default)

node.session.err_timeo.abort_timeout = 5(previously 15 by default)

node.session.err_timeo.lu_reset_timeout = 10(previously 30 by default)

node.session.err_timeo.tgt_reset_timeout = 10(previously 30 by default)


As per our understanding these changes would be effective in iscsiadm 
commands after restarting iscsi daemon, when we restart iscsi daemon above 
changes are not effective. 


But, when we explicitly execute the discovery command (iscsiadm -m 
discovery --type sendtargets -p X.X.X.X), these setting become effective. 


Following are my queries regarding executing discovery command after 
changing values in iscsi.conf file:


1> As iscsi database(/var/lib/iscsi/nodes) is maintained at initiator side, 
only restarting daemon should reflect the changes in iscsi database 
file(/var/lib/iscsi/nodes).

Is this understanding correct?

If not, do we always need to execute discovery command after changing the 
value in iscsi.conf file and why [after restarting iscsi daemon] ?

2> Can't we avoid executing discovery command for making the iscsi.conf 
changes effective [Is there some other possible way] ?


Thanks,

Manish Singh
