We want to wait for network-online.target only if the service is actually started. One way to achieve this might be to move waiting into ExecStartPre=. I imagine this could work by creating a new unit network-online-waitonly.target with After=network-online.target StopWhenUnneeded=yes which is then used inside iscsi.service ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/systemctl start network-online-waitonly.target Not great, but should work. I suppose the ideal solution would be that the iscsi service handles waiting internally and only becomes ready when the configured nodes are available or a timeout happens.
