I am trying to set up a iSCSI target: 

[root@localhost /]# targetcli
targetcli shell version 2.1.fb37

Here's the structure (open image in a new window to see it full size):

Discovery seems to work fine:

[root@linuxbox ~]# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 10.0.0.60
10.0.0.60:3260,1 iqn.2015-06.world.server:storage.target01

However, when I try to connect, I get this authorization failure message:

[root@linuxbox ~]# iscsiadm -m node --targetname "iqn.2015-06.world.server:storage.target01" --portal "10.0.0.60:3260" --login 
Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2015-06.world.server:storage.target01, portal: 10.0.0.60,3260] (multiple)
iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2015-06.world.server:storage.target01, portal: 10.0.0.60,3260].
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (24 - iSCSI login failed due to authorization failure)
iscsiadm: Could not log into all portals

On the client machine you have to edit the initiatorname in the file initiatorname.iscsi. The name is the iqn which is created as ACL.

$ vi /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

InitiatorName=iqn.2015-06.world.server:www.server.world

    After changing the initiatorname in the initiatorname.iscsi file run following commands: # service iscsi stop # service iscsid stop # service iscsid start # service iscsi start – LinuxBdK Nov 21 '16 at 10:27

In my case there was a problem with the iqn of the initiator - I edited the file /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi and run service iscsi restart but still saw errors in /etc/messages on target:

Dec  2 14:51:05 iscsi-target-vm kernel: iSCSI Initiator Node: iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:47fbcf58e10 is not authorized to access iSCSI target portal group: 1.

Dec 2 14:51:05 iscsi-target-vm kernel: iSCSI Login negotiation failed.`

So the solution was to run service iscsid restart at the initiator to reload the iqn.

    "systemctl restart iscsid" in systemd – Albert T. Wong May 4 '17 at 23:59
