Folks,
I really fear this one is a FAQ somewhere, but I can't find the answer
to it.
My problem is that discovering new targets overwrites any custom
settings that have been applied to targets that already exist on a given
portal.
Here is the sequence of events I'd like to do:
1) Create an iscsi target in our iscsi SAN (based on IET).
2) On the server that wants to use that target, do 'iscsiadm -m
discovery...' to discover the target.
3) We use chap, so set the username/password with 'iscsiadm -m node
-T... -o update...'
4) Log in and use that target.
(Up to here everything is great)
5) Sometime in the future (hours to months) add a new target in the
iscsi SAN.
6) On the same server, do a discovery to discover this new target.
7) Set the username/password for the new target.
8) Log in to the new target and use the new target.
The problem is that when we do the discovery in step 6, it wipes out the
username/password and any other customizations we've put in the record
for the target that was discovered in step 2. When we have only a few
targets it's easy enough to reset all the username/passwords, but this
is going to get cumbersome when we have quite a few targets.
Is there a way to discover a new target without overwriting the existing
target database?
What version of open-iscsi are you using? In newer versions you can do:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -ip -o new -o delete
This will add new records for portals not in the db using iscsid.conf
info and delete portals that are not returned by the target.
