All of these parameters may be changed easily. For example, if you want to change the
maximum number of connections to two, use
ietadm --op update --tid=1
--params=MaxConnections=2
. In the file
/etc/ietd.conf
, the associated
line should look like
MaxConnections 2
.
WARNING: Update ietd.conf According to Changes with ietadm
The changes that you make with the command
ietadm
are not permanent
for the system. These changes are lost at the next reboot if they are not added
to the configuration file
/etc/ietd.conf
. Depending on the usage of iSCSI
in your network, this may lead to severe problems.
There are several more options available for the command
ietadm
. Find an overview
with
ietadm -h
. The abbreviations there are target ID (tid), session ID (sid), and
connection ID (cid). They can also be found in
/proc/net/iet/session
.
12.2 Configuring iSCSI Initiator
iSCSI initiator, also called client, can be used to connect to any iSCSI target. This is
not restricted to the iSCSI target solution explained above. The configuration of iSCSI
initiator involves two major steps—the discovery of available iSCSI targets and the
setup of an iSCSI session. Both can be done with YaST.
