Issue/Introduction

When I make changes in the iSCSI configuration through the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box, the changes do not take effect.


Resolution

Following instances requires a reboot of the host
 
  • When you change certain configuration parameters for your software or hardware iSCSI initiators, you need to reboot your host even if the user interface does not indicate that a reboot is required.
  • If you enable CHAP after the host has an active iSCSI session to the array, so in order have the CHAP session active, you need to reboot the host.
  • Reboot the host when you make changes that include renaming your iSCSI initiator, disabling the initiator, and so on.
Following instances DO NOT requires a reboot of the host
  • Dynamic discovery addresses can be added or removed without a reboot of the host.
  • If you change the dynamic discovery address for iSCSI connection
  • If you change the CHAP authentication details
