Environment

Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6

Situation

Iscsi would not connect to the their target. Iscsi was not able to connect to the SAN. Getting "error:target discovery failed ip address" Cu was using iscsinit /chap to connect. the initiators would hang. This was all working until they updated to support pack 6. Rebooting the target and the initiators produced varied results. The initiators would connect but only to the first volume on the target. The other volumes could not be seen. A subsequent reboot showed that the initiators would connect to a different volume, and no others. Customer was using iscsinit /chap to connect.
