Logging in to discovered targets

You can connect to a specific portal on a discovered target by using the iscsiadm command.

The system supports only one iSCSI session between an initiator and a target. Ensure that you do not attempt to connect to the same target node more than once.

For SLES:

iscsiadm --mode node --target IQN --portal x.x.x.x --login

For example: iscsiadm --mode node --target iqn.1986-03.com.ibm:2145.cluster10g1.node1 --portal 192.168.64.191 --login.

For RHEL:

iscsiadm --mode node --targetname --portal x.x.x.x --login

For example: iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.1986-03.com.ibm:2145.cluster10g1.node1 --portal 192.168.64.191 --login.

When the login command completes, the host can access the volumes that are mapped to the host from the target after the SCSI devices are rescanned.
