With the git head you can just do iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip:port -I iser This will setup iser for the portals found. You can then do iscsiadm -m node -I iser -l to log into all the portals bound to iser or do the normal commands iscsiadm -m node -T target -p ip:port -l iscsiadm -m node -T target -l iscsiadm -m node -T target -I iser -l For example f you have a combo of iser and tcp on the target you can do: iscsiadm -m node -T target -I iser -l to log into the ones bound to iser or iscsiadm -m node -T target -I default -l to log into the ones bound to tcp (default is for the old tcp no binding). The default behavior is broken right now. When you do the discovery command it will bind portals to any module you have loaded so if you have tcp and iser loaded when you do iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip:port it will bind the portals found to tcp and iser when you probably just want one or the other (iser also loads automatically by the iscsi scripts so it might always be loaded). I was trying to figure out a way to make bnx2i and iser binding easier. > and I can't get the hang of the "-m iface" syntax. > > This commit suggests that I'm in over my head: > > commit 0f1e48cfc07ac5031bf9a4a60487fcb46a46b791 > Author: Mike Christie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sun Apr 20 22:15:32 2008 -0500 > > Do not allow iface setting to be changed in node mode. > > This temporarily breaks iscsi_discovery and probably other apps > for distros that wanted to set iface.transport_name.
