第 36 章 Scanning iSCSI Targets with Multiple LUNs or Portals
With some device models (for example, from EMC and Netapp), however, a single target may have multiple logical units or portals. In this case, issue a
sendtargets command to the host first to find new portals on the target. Then, rescan the existing sessions using:
# iscsiadm -m session --rescan
You can also rescan a specific session by specifying the session's
SID value, as in:
# iscsiadm -m session -r SID --rescan[8]
If your device supports multiple targets, you will need to issue a
sendtargets command to the hosts to find new portals for each target. Then, rescan existing sessions to discover new logical units on existing sessions (i.e. using the --rescan option).
重要
The
sendtargets command used to retrieve --targetname and --portal values overwrites the contents of the /var/lib/iscsi/nodes database. This database will then be repopulated using the settings in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf. However, this will not occur if a session is currently logged in and in use.
To safely add new targets/portals or delete old ones, use the
-o new or -o delete options, respectively. For example, to add new targets/portals without overwriting /var/lib/iscsi/nodes, use the following command:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p target_IP -o new
To delete
/var/lib/iscsi/nodes entries that the target did not display during discovery, use:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p target_IP -o delete
You can also perform both tasks simultaneously, as in:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p target_IP -o delete -o new
The
sendtargets command will yield the following output:
ip:port,target_portal_group_tag proper_target_name
例 36.1. Output of the sendtargets command
For example, given a device with a single target, logical unit, and portal, with
equallogic-iscsi1 as your target_name, the output should appear similar to the following:
10.16.41.155:3260,0 iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:6-8a0900-ac3fe0101-63aff113e344a4a2-dl585-03-1
Note that
proper_target_name and ip:port,target_portal_group_tag are identical to the values of the same name in 第 27.2 节 “iSCSI Initiator Creation”.
At this point, you now have the proper
--targetname and --portal values needed to manually scan for iSCSI devices. To do so, run the following command:
# iscsiadm --mode node --targetname proper_target_name --portal ip:port,target_portal_group_tag \ --login [9]
例 36.2. Full iscsiadm command
Using our previous example (where
proper_target_name is equallogic-iscsi1), the full command would be:
# iscsiadm --mode node --targetname \ iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:6-8a0900-ac3fe0101-63aff113e344a4a2-dl585-03-1 \ --portal 10.16.41.155:3260,0 --login[9]

This is a single command split into multiple lines, to accommodate printed and PDF versions of this document. All concatenated lines — preceded by the backslash (\) — should be treated as one command, sans backslashes.
