Cannot restore targetcli configuration after centOS 7 server reboot.


Hi all, this is my first question.
I had a working targetcli configuration, with LVM logical volumes as block storage devices, and on an initiator machine this target is discoverable, basically the setup was working fine, now i after the centOS7 server was rebooted, targetcli configuration got lost, and when i try to restore the configuration with
Code:
targetcli restoreconfig <backupFile>
out message is
Code:
 storageobjects or targets present, not restoring
Code:
targetcli ls

Hey Ahmedjaad welcome to Linux questions.

It sounds like you have a running config in place...
Quote:
storageobjects or targets present, not restoring
You'll have to clear the configuration first with
"targetcli clearconfig confirm=true"
and then you should be able to restore your configuration

Hope that helps
