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 of problem:

kickstart iscsi root install does not use --target option even if specified. 
will use any target that may be available at --ipaddr.

iscsi --ipaddr <ip> --target <iqn>

also, when doing a manual install and selecting a specific target it will work
but will not correctly report in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg.  only reports:

isci --ipaddr <ip>

no --target, even though the manual installer works.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL6
Fedora14

How reproducible:
always

1. setup an iscsi target server with more than one target exported
2. use "iscsi --ipaddr <ip> --target <target>" in kickstart file
3. install will work but not use actual target specified (unless your lucky) 

Actual results:
specified target not used

Expected results:
specified target used

Additional info:
--target= shouldn't be ignored in ks.cfg and that writeKS should include it.
