Iscsiutil and the "ghost" iscsi server

I see on startup hp-ux try to initalize iscsi client.

But the server iscsi was removed some years ago.

The command iscsiutil -pv return

/opt/iscsi/bin/iscsiutil -pv

Session information

        Data Digest               : None,CRC32C (default)

So I try to remove it and..

/opt/iscsi/bin/iscsiutil -d -I 192.168.0.12 -P 3260
iscsiutil: Delete failed.  The target address "192.168.0.12:3260,1" is not present in the driver repository: Invalid argument

The question is: how to remove the "ghost" server?

Just remove the iscsi startup script in /sbin/init.d.

I prefer this

sudo mv  /sbin/rc2.d/S532iscsi /sbin/rc2.d/s532iscsi

Is a workaround and not a solution..but is working

You might this more useful:

sudo mv  /sbin/rc2.d/S532iscsi /sbin/rc2.d/..S532iscsi

By prepending the dots, all the disabled scripts remain unchanged but can easily be seen in an ls/ll command.
