HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator Support Guide (Edition 7)

To start the iradd daemon:
# iradd
Once the iradd daemon has been started, the iradd daemon will be restarted automatically
each time the system reboots.
NOTE: For more information on iradd, see “iSCSI Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol
Daemon (iradd)” (page 30).
4.3 Configuring iSCSI Service Location Protocol Daemon "Start on Boot"
The iSCSI Software Initiator uses the iSCSI Service Location Protocol daemon (islpd) for SLPv2
based dynamic target discovery. By default, the islpd daemon is not started on boot. The user may
configure the "Start on Boot" feature for islpd either to enable auto-start or disable auto-start of
islpd daemon on boot.To configure the islpd "Start on Boot", use the following options:
1. To enable auto-start of the islpd daemon on boot
# /opt/iscsi/bin/islpd -a
2. To disable auto-start of the islpd daemon on boot
# /opt/iscsi/bin/islpd -r
3. To check the configuration of the "Start on Boot" feature
# /opt/iscsi/bin/islpd -g
NOTE: Enabling the auto-start of islpd daemon on boot will not automatically start the
islpd daemon. Explicit invocation of the islpd daemon is required to start the islpd daemon.
4. To enable auto-start of the islpd daemon for future boots and to start the islpd daemon for
the current boot, execute the following commands:
# /opt/iscsi/bin/islpd -a
# /opt/iscsi/bin/islpd
4.4 Configuring iSCSI Service Location Protocol (SLP) Scope
The iSCSI Software Initiator uses SLP for dynamic Target Discovery. The SLP scope is used to control
the availability of service advertisements. The iSCSI SLP User Agent (UA) can be configured with
one or more scope strings. If no specific scope string is configured, the scope string will be
"default".To configure the iSCSI SLP Scope List:
1. Enter:
# iscsiutil -g -F <iscsi_slp_scope_string_list>
If more than one scope string is to be configured, a comma ( , ) is used to separate individual
scope strings. For example:
# iscsiutil -g -F iscsi-scope1, iscsi-scope2 , ....
2. To display the iSCSI SLP Scope List that has been configured, enter:
# iscsiutil -l
