I boot a Centos 6 server so it can be mounted with a volume from compellent, but got this issue that the HBA interface cannot be detected at the compellent side but check the connectivity, it able to established connection to iscsi target.
I manually connect the host to the compellent server iscsi ip, so below, I have 8 IP to connect
#connecting
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do iscsiadm --mode discoverydb --type sendtargets --portal 1.2.3.$i --discover; done
#logging in
iscsiadm -m node -l
#connecting
But i encountered at the compellent an issue where the existing initiator name does not show, so I cannot bind the volume to that said host at compellent.
The fix is to rename the initiator name. Use the command
/sbin/iscsi-iname
The above will generate a new name and then put it at /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
If you have an existing InitiatorName=iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:fc5b3050bf
and that name either defined on different IP, you may replace that with the new name and restart iscsi service.
Then check at compellent the hba for the host IP equivalent, it should display the new name and the IP and you can now map the volume to the said server.
