Discovering and Adding iSCSI Targets
The following steps are used to discover and add a target using the Ethernet adapter for
SLES 11 SP1, RHEL 5.8, and later versions.
1. For the iSCSI function, set the IP address using the iSCSI Select utility.

The initiator IP is set to 192.168.65.99. This IP is set for the iSCSI function, but it
does not get set for the Ethernet interface.

The target portal IP is 192.168.65.196.
2. Discover the targets using the Ethernet interface for which the IP was set.
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.65.196:3260 -I
be2iscsi.00:00:c9:f2:73:91
3. Log in to the discovered targets.
iscsiadm -m node -p 192.168.65.196:3260 -l
4. To display the session after a successful log in or to log out, see step 10 and step 11
on page 853, respectively.
iscsiadm Commands for Configuring the Target
Note: These commands are supported in the RHEL 5.x operating system.
After setting up the target and initiator machines, use the following procedure to
configure the iSCSI target through Open-iSCSI.
Note: The following instructions assume that the initiator machine is a Linux machine
with a OneConnect adapter installed.
1. Create a new interface (iface):
iscsiadm -m iface -o new -I
In this command, is the name you provide for the iface.
2. Add a NIC media access control (MAC) address:
iscsiadm -m iface -I --op=update -n iface.hwaddress
-v
In this command, is the name of the iface created in step 1 and
mac_address> is the NIC MAC address you are adding for discovery.
3. Add the Transport Name:
iscsiadm -m iface -I --op=update -n
iface.transport_name -v be2iscsi
In this command, is the name of the iface created in step 1.
4. Restart the service:
service open-iscsi restart
5. Perform target discovery using “SendTargets”:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p -I -P 1
