  1. %item value=3% Start iscsi

%commandbox% [@service iscsi start@]

  1. %item value=4% Set iscsi to start on boot

%commandbox% [@iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.1.5@]

  1. %item value=6% Retart iscsi

%commandbox% [@service iscsi restart@]

  1. %item value=7% Nas should be visible with fdisk
