I've been experimenting with iscsi's initiator naming facility, and it 
appears to have some strange properties. When I run the command, 
"iscsitadm create initiator --iqn <some iqn> local1," everything seems 
to work. I check svc:/system/iscsitgt and it has the appropriate 
property group and properties for the newly named local-initiator.

However, if I modify the property "iscsi-name," for example, and refresh 
the iscsitgt service, nothing happens. Even stranger, when I restart the 
service and run "iscsitadm list initiator," it does not list any 
initiators. It turns out, this happens regardless of whether I modified 
the SCF property. Furthermore, if I run "iscsitadm create initiator 
--iqn <some iqn> local1," again after a restart, and then I run 
"iscsitadm list initiator," there are now two entries for "local1."

Any ideas about this behavior, which I found rather unexpected?
