Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Currently, save and restore of kernel target configuration is done by targetcli.service, which is in the targetcli package. This is actually somewhat a kludge. There are other packages, like targetd, which rely on a service restoring target config on restart, but is otherwise not dependent on targetcli, but only python-rtslib.

Upstream rtslib (me wearing a different hat) has moved the config restore capability to rtslib, with the addition of a "targetctl" tool.

This is important to get into RHEL 7 now instead of an update because I'd also like to change the service file name from targetcli.service to target.service. Making this change later will cause users who have activated the targetcli.service who then upgrade to unexpectedly have the replacement target.service be disabled.

Verified with targetcli-2.1.fb31-1.el7.

Service has been renamed to target.service. And targetcli is able to save and restore the configuration.
