Hey Jason, Thanks for sharing your article – I wrote this some years ago now, and it’s very out of date!

Pretty useful information here Mark.

I too had a problem where “iscsiadm list target” returned nothing. What I found that I had to do was:

1 – ensure that the iscsi_initiator service was enabled:
# svcs svc:/network/iscsi_initiator:default
# svcadm enable svc:/network/iscsi_initiator:default

2 – Create the iscsi device links:
# devfsadm -Cv -i iscsi

Then I was able to see the iscsi target devices.

Hi Janice,

Thanks for dropping by. I think it’s a font thing with the –sendtargets switch, as the post source does actually say ‘minus minus’ and not just ‘dash’. Sorry about that; maybe time to review the CSS eh?

Sorry, I can’t help with your problem without a bit more information. Naturally this all worked just fine for me! If you do have some more debug information feel free to post it back and I’ll see if I can suggest an answer.

Hi…this is a handy website. Just a note–I noticed that “-sendtargets” should be “–sendtargets”.

Say, I tried these instructions and when it came time to list targets on the client (i.e. “iscsiadm list target”), there was no output (and no error either, just the prompt). Any idea? (There was a generic message in /var/adm/messages, that there was an iscsi failure. Unfortunately, that machine is down and I cannot access that text.)

Thanks for any leads.

Janice
