To use the sample file included on the media: 1 Save the default /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file by naming it to another name of your choice. 2 Copy the appropriate sample file from /linux/etc on the media to /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf. 3 Rename the sample file to iscsid.conf. 4 Edit the following entries in the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file: a Edit or verify that the node.startup = manual line is disabled. b Edit or verify that the node.startup = automatic line is enabled. This enables automatic startup of the service at boot time. Appendix-Manual Configuration 59
