<DIV></DIV>I have tried both suggestions. I added the

high as 20 with no change during boot up. Then I added NETWORKDELAY=20 to
/etc/sysconfig/network and I still see:<BR>iscsiadm: Could not login session

restart iscsi, clvmd, and gfs and everything works. Sometimes I hate

You can also tweak the network delay setting in /etc/sysconfig/network.
Set the variable NETWORKDELAY to a value (in seconds) and the network
scripts will sleep for this period of time after bringing all interfaces
up. This should allow time for your network to be fully up before the
iscsi service starts.

Bryn.
