removing iscsi persistent settings from krs (kernel registry)

[Charles Slivkoff]

I have recently moved a rp3440 running 11.23. I will be attaching new iscsi targets. How do I remove the old iscsi persistent data?

I have tried "iscsiutil -d -I " which removed some of the entries, but I do not see how to remove the others.

From what I can tell (based on "strings -a" output) the data is stored in the KRS (kernel registry) in /stand/krs/system.krs and loaded during system boot.

I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on KRS. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I found two KRS utilities:

/usr/lbin/krs_print
/usr/lbin/krs_file

with which I can definitely see the ISCSI values in the KRS, but I'm still looking for a way to remove these.

Am I going to have to build a new kernel minus the iscsi driver to clear these?

There is an undocumented option i.e. -x for iscsiutil which can be used to delete all iSCSI information from the KRS. But it requires to set a kernel variable i.e. iscsi_krs_delete as mentioned in this document on page 4.

Excellent!

I guess there's no HPUX equiv "regedit.exe", huh?
