Do you have only the target records you want to log into automatically 
marked as node.startup=automatic?

I didn't follow you when you meantioned the previous entry. Are you 
running the iscsiadm discovery command at some point during startup?

Aare you running a custom script that logs into specific targets or how 
do you log into targets if the init script does not run loginall=automatic?

I think you just want to set the targets you want to log into with the 
node.startup = automatic. When that loginall=automatic gets run, it will 
only log into those targets.

iscsiadm -m node -T target -p ip:port -o update -n node.startup -v startup


I think with IET you can set up lists to control how can log into which 
target. Does that work for you?
