What version of open-iscsi is this? What is in the /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi file?
cat /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi Is there something like InitiatorName=iqn.2001-12.somename.somethingelse ? If not then does your distro have a iscsiname or iscsi-iname tool? If not then just add a name to that file. The "InitiatorName=" is required. After that, add something like InitiatorName=iqn.2012-12.com.your_hostname:something_unique That name must be unique for each initiator you have. So every box you have iscsi installed on must have a different name. On 12/19/2012 12:01 PM, GGL wrote: > Oops! > > I spaced on pasting that rather important part of the problem.
