Configuration

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
