I would just like to point out that in release 1.4.20.2 the configuration files are in /etc/iet

If you create configuration files in /etc they will not be recognized by IET. So the paths would be:

/etc/iet/initiators.allow
/etc/iet/ietd.conf

I do not know which release this started with, the last time I built an IET SAN was a few years ago.

“The iscsi-target init.d script is installed and will be started at boot-time.”

Not necessarily. On Centos 5.5, /etc/init.d/iscsi-target was created, but not linked to any runlevel.

chkconfig –add iscsi-target
chkconfig iscsi-target on

Yes, the login info will be saved by the open-iscsi initiator software, so there’s no need to login each time.

Is the login info saved by the initiator in case either system is rebooted or service is restarted? or will you have to login each time?
