After you edit the iSCSI configuration file, you must start the
iSCSI service so that the host can discover the targets and access
LUNs. If the iSCSI service is running, you must restart it.
Step
- Start the iSCSI service at the Linux host command prompt:
| If you are using... |
Enter... |
|---|
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 series and SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 series |
systemctl start iscsid |
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 series
Note: You must execute this command the first time you start the iSCSI
service on a host running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 series and
Oracle Linux 6 series. If you execute
/etc/init.d/iscsi
start
without previously executing
service iscsid
force-start, you get an error message.
|
service iscsid force-start |
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or 4 series and Oracle Linux 5 series,
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Oracle Linux, and Oracle VM
|
/etc/init.d/iscsi start |
| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 or 11 series
|
/etc/init.d/open-iscsi start |
Citrix discourages the use of the
iscsiadm
tool. The native XAPI stack accomplishes the tasks of starting and
stopping the iscsi service, automatic login on boot, and other
iSCSI operations.
