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 -r 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
-r bd0ac2 --op=delete. Use this option with caution because it deletes the
record without any additional confirmation prompt.
12.2.4 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
