The record ID in this example is bd0ac2. This ID is needed for all actions that relate
to this special data set. To examine the content of the data record with the ID bd0c2,
use the following command:
iscsiadm -m node --record=bd0ac2
node.name = iqn.2006-02.com.example.iserv:systems
node.transport_name = tcp
node.tpgt = 1
node.active_conn = 1
node.startup = manual
node.session.initial_cmdsn = 0
node.session.reopen_max = 32
node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP
node.session.auth.username = joe
node.session.auth.password = ********
node.session.auth.username_in = <empty>
node.session.auth.password_in = <empty>
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 0
node.session.err_timeo.abort_timeout = 10
node.session.err_timeo.reset_timeout = 30
node.session.iscsi.InitialR2T = No
node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = Yes
....
To edit the value of one of these variables, use the command iscsiadm with the
update operation. For example, if you want iscsid to log in to the iSCSI target when
it initializes, set the variable node.startup to the value automatic:
iscsiadm -m node --record=bd0ac2 --op=update --name=node.startup
--value=automatic
Remove obsolete data sets with the operation delete. If the record bd0ac2 is no
longer a valid record, delete this record with the command iscsiadm -m node
--record=bd0ac2 --op=delete. Use caution because this deletes the record
without any additional confirmation prompt.
11.2.4 For More Information
The iSCSI protocol has been available for several years. There are many reviews and
additional documentation comparing iSCSI with SAN solutions, doing performance
benchmarks, or just describing hardware solutions. Important pages for more information
