iSCSI initiator configuration: insf command does not respond.

[Rudi van den Putte]

iSCSIutil connection to an equallogic SAN went correct until creation of devicefile using insf -H 255 command: Insf and iscsiutil –pO do not respond (no error message).

1.) Could someone check if the configuration below is correct or give me a clue to find out what’s wrong?
2.) How to reset the CHAP secret parameter to its initial value (empty)?

Find below the output of Iscsiutil –l, –pD and isoscan commands:

Shalom,

Most of the time disk devices are created with the command

insf -C disk

[Rudi van den Putte]

Thanks for your quick response; insf -C disk also does not respond, no error message. How can I check if the SAN is accessible?
The only test I know is ping the IP-addresses of the SAN.
Is there any other action that has to be done at the equallogic end to provide the disk?
