You can pass the discovery commands some flags to indicated how you want it to manage the db. iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -o new will just add new target portals that are not in the db. iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -o delete will delete target portals that are in the db but no longer returned by the target in sendtargets discvoery. iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -o update was supposed to update target portal records that are in the db and returned by sendtargets using the iscsid.conf info. I checked the code today and it actually updates existing records and will add new ones using the iscsid.conf info. Then you can pass in combos. I think you want iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -o new -o delete this will add new records for new target portals, and delete records for targets no longer returned by the target, and for existing portals it will not update the records so your existing record settings will not be overwritten. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
