Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records found! problem

[joachim.d...@ugent.be]

Hi all,

I am trying to setup a backup partition on a 40TB storage server.
There are already partitions setup on that server that are working, so
the storage server configuration is ok.

So I have another server where I need the storage, which I will call
worker-server for the sake of explanation and storage-server is the
40TB one.

Using openfiler:
* I created a 4TB partition on the storage-server
* created a target
* did LUN mapping
* created a network entry (255.255.255.255 mask, ok?)
* allowed access to it.

So I log into the worker-server:
* I install iscsi-initiator-utils
* chkconfig iscsi on
* I checked initiatorname.iscsi, there is something there, so should
be ok?
* I run service iscsi start -> Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No
records found! ...
* Needless to say, discovery is blank as well when I run iscsiadm --
mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal <ip_address>

Am I doing something completely wrong? Anyone any suggestion?

That last time this was reported the user had to modify the target a
little more. Here is what they said they had to do:

Thanks for your reply. I was able to resolve the issue by modifying
/etc/initiator.deny and commenting all the lines that were denying access to
configured disk.
