Re: How many S/W iSCSI Initiators on same machine?
Tank you, Mike! With the current open-iscsi version, you can set a initiator name per iface. Which version (2.0871??) do you mean. On my SLES 10SP2 there is version 2.0707 and this does not work: #iscsiadm -m iface -I eth0 -o update -n iface.initiatorname -v iqn. 2009-08.com.test Still see this iqn.1993-08.de.suse...name.

But now there is the question HOWTO assign an initiator name for EACH session? I think the concept is that one physical machine has one initiator name, maybe because you can access the same LUN via different sessions. BTW: The documentation for the HP-UX iSCSI Initiator has a nice documentation that explains the basics of iSCSI. It can be found at http://docs.hp.com I'm not sue about the exact title, but it's similar to Software Initiator Support Guide For one iSCSI session it can be found in the /etc/iscsi/ initiatorname.iscsi File: InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.com.hp:Ethernet1 Can it be done by adding these 5 entries InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.com.hp:Ethernet2 InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.com.hp:Ethernet3 InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.com.hp:Ethernet4 InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.com.hp:Ethernet5 InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.com.hp:Ethernet6 or which syntax has to be used?

The iface initiatorname field is: iface.initiatorname quick scan of the config file didn't show anything. I *believe* iscsid has the initiator name so it's a global parameter. Why do you want unique names for each initiator? What do you think it will gain you? -don On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 4:16 AM, Rainer Bläs rainer.bl...@astrium.eads.netwrote: Thanks for your answer!
