Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Description Andy Grover 2014-07-02 18:44:23 UTC

The service to that must be enabled to restore the target configuration on restart is called target.service. It doesn't actually live in the targetcli pkg, it lives in the python-rtslib pkg. There's no good way for an admin to find this out, but they will in all likelihood want to enable it.

We should mention this in the "quickstart" section of the targetcli manpage, so users do not experience extreme frustration.

Comment 4 Martin Hoyer 2017-05-29 14:10:32 UTC

Tested with targetcli-2.1.fb46-1.el7. No regression found.
Manpage states that:

"Although  by default targetcli saves the running configuration upon exit, a distribution-specific service must be enabled to restore the saved configuration on reboot. See distribution documentation for specifics, but for example:

$ sudo systemctl enable target.service"
