Hello,

I've been trying to get an iSCSI Target/Initiator configured for a couple days now. The Target configuration seems to go as expected., but the Initiator hasn't. The only things I have done is install iscsi-initiator-utils and edit/update the /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi file with the same iqn that was used in the ACL field during the Target configuration. When I start the iscsi service and then check the status I see the following:

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iscsi.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at the Tue 2018-01-23 03:13:18 UTC; 8s ago none of the trigger conditions were met

I've searched the web, but haven't found much. Does anyone know what triggers it's looking for? I'm at work now, so I can't post any config files or output, but any help would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to LQ.

A search for terms like this

iscsi none of the trigger conditions were met

might be what I'd start with.

We'd need to know your distro maybe for more detailed information.
Did you follow your distro's help pages on this issue or some other web example?
