Comment 2 Mike Christie 2009-06-08 18:35:33 UTC

Here is a workaround in case the fix for this does make it into 5.4. You only
need this if your discovery ACLs use the initiatorname and you are setting
those ACLs based on the iface initiatorname and not the name in
/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi.

1. Create your ifaces with the initiatorname (iname) you want to use.
2. Edit /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi with one of the inames.
3. Run the discovery command and pass in the iface for the iname that is being
used in step 2

iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -I ifaceX

(note: I am passing in the "-o new" argument since I just want to add new
portals and iface bindings).

4. Edit /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi again and add another one of the ifaces
inames.

5.  Run the discovery command again, and pass in the iface for the iname that
is being used in step 4, and also pass in the "-o new" argument:

iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -I ifaceX

(note: I am passing in the "-o new" argument since I just want to add new
portals and iface bindings and I do not want to remove the ones that were
created in #3).

6. Repeat #4 and %5 for each iface
