25.16. Logging in to an iSCSI Target As mentioned in Section 25.7, "iSCSI" , the iSCSI service must be running in order to discover or log into targets. To start the iSCSI service, run: When this command is executed, the iSCSI init scripts will automatically log into targets where the node.startup setting is configured as automatic . This is the default value of node.startup for all targets. To prevent automatic login to a target, set node.startup to manual . To do this, run the following command: Deleting the entire record will also prevent automatic login. To do this, run: To automatically mount a file system from an iSCSI device on the network, add a partition entry for the mount in /etc/fstab with the _netdev option.
