will look similar to this:

If the HP-UX 11iv2 iSCSI Software Initiator is installed correctly, the generated output

will look similar to this:

# Initializing...

# Contacting target "myhost"...

# Target: myhost:/

# iSCSI-00 B.11.23.03e HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator

Step 2. Issue the ioscan command as follows:

# ioscan -kfnC iscsi
