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.
