===== Connecting to configured iSCSI targets =====
If the automatic start of iSCSI connections is configured as described, the iSCSI initiator will log into the iSCSI target autmatically as soon as the daemon 'open-iscsi' is started.
  root@kvm55:~# /etc/init.d/open-iscsi start
  …
If active sessions are not displayed by the command above, they can be made visible like so:
  root@kvm55:~# iscsiadm -m session
  tcp: [1] 10.48.2.11:3260,582 iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:25820002ac002071
  tcp: [2] 10.48.2.10:3260,482 iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:24820002ac002071
If no connections to iSCSI exist yet, a login into iSCSI will be tried. Sometimes the names of the iSCSI targets are necessary for the login. They can be read from the iSCSI configuration of the host before login:
  root@kvm55:~# ll /etc/iscsi/nodes/
  total 16
  drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan  4 20:29 ./
  drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 21 22:53 ../
  drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan  4 20:29 iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:24820002ac002071/
  drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan  4 20:29 iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:25820002ac002071/
  root@kvm55:~# iscsiadm –m node \
  –T iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:24820002ac002071 -l
  …
  root@kvm55:~# iscsiadm –m node \
  –T iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:25820002ac002071 -l
  …
The command has to put out 'success' as result of every login trial. Otherwise the login was not successful.
