Re: [Iscsitarget-devel] create and delete partitions

[Ross S. W. W. <RW...@me...>]

 
You can add and remove any target via ietadm whether they are defined in ietd.conf or not.
 
I do not understand what the OP is trying to accomplish.
 
You can add and remove backing store LUNs for targets via ietadm, but you can't create or modify the backing stores themselves. This needs to be done using the appropriate tools, fdisk/sfdisk, lvm, etc.
 
Process is:
 
1) All initiators log out of the target
2) Remove the LUN from the target (using ietadm)
3) Reconfigure the backing store for that LUN (using fdisk or lvm etc)
4) Re-add the LUN to the target with the new modified backing store (using ietadm)
 
Hope that helps.
 
-Ross

	What I know is ietadmin cannot remove a target configed in ietd.conf

	You only can remove a target created with ietadmin –op new.

	 

	Please correct me if I’m wrong.
