## DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS FILE!
## If you remove this file, the iSCSI daemon will not start.
## If you change the InitiatorName, existing access control lists
## may reject this initiator. The InitiatorName must be unique
## for each iSCSI initiator. Do NOT duplicate iSCSI InitiatorNames.

Before starting linux-iscsi, it is necessary to do the configuration in /etc/iscsi.conf.
This file already contains many possible configuration parameters and some
description. Detailed information about the configuration file is also available in
the manpage of iscsi.conf. An initial configuration is shown in Example 7-2. This
configuration can be used to ensure that the setup works, but should not be used
for production use as it lacks any security configuration.
Example 7-2 initial /etc/iscsi.conf for single path IO
DiscoveryAddress=192.168.1.61
With this configuration, linux-iscsi can be started as shown in Example 7-3.
Example 7-3 starting linux-iscsi
danube:~ # /etc/init.d/iscsi start
Starting iSCSI: iscsi iscsid fsck/mount done
danube:~ #
Linux-iscsi logs interesting information to /var/log/messages. Example 7-4 shows
logging information during startup of linux-iscsi.
