Environment

Novell NetWare 6.5
Novell Open Enterprise Server (NetWare)
Novell iSCSI Target

Situation

TON.NCF appears to load correctly, but target does not work.
ERROR:  "ISCSI_LSS_GetSecrets: failed -9"

Resolution

The admin name, target server name and the admin password are recorded during the NetWare 6.5 installation. They are then encrypted and saved in the sys:\etc\iscsi.lss file.  If this file is incorrect or corrupted, it needs to be recreated using TINIT.NCF.

TINIT.NCF runs iscsitar.nlm with the -l, -p, and -s parameters.
      -l is the fully distinguished LDAP name for admin.
       -p is the admin password
       -s is the fully distinguished LDAP name for the iSCSI target server.

example:  TINIT.NCF cn=admin,o=novell password cn=server1,o=novell

1.  Run TOFF.NCF and IOFF.NCF
2.  Run TINIT.NCF with parameters
3.  Run TON.NCF
