I am now having 'iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.868-0.18.el5' and performed the steps mentioned in my last post.
Still after when I discover using 'iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.30.12 -o new -o delete',nodes and sendtargets entries gets overwritten. I am also not performing any target configuration changes on the target side in this whole process.Just discovery followed by 'node.startup update to automatic command'.and again performing discovery causes overwriting. Am I going wrong somewhere in the steps? Thanks and Regards, Himanshu Padmanabhi.
