I have a SAN with four iSCSI targets,
eui.000B56007135B1B0 through eui.000B56007135B1B3
I need to validate target names entered manually by a user.
Normally, I would do this is by searching the output of a discovery
session. Since iscsictl doesn't allow doing discovery *only*, the only
way I can think of to validate a target is to connect, then parse the
output of "iscsictl -L". Unfortunately, attempting to connect to certain
invalid targets results in connection to a valid target:
# iscsictl -Ad 192.168.3.111
# iscsictl -L
Target name Target portal State
eui.000B56007135B1B0 192.168.3.111 Connected: da0
eui.000B56007135B1B1 192.168.3.111 Connected: da2
eui.000B56007135B1B2 192.168.3.111 Connected: da1
eui.000B56007135B1B3 192.168.3.111 Connected: da3
# iscsictl -Ra
# iscsictl -A -p 192.168.3.111 -t eui.000B56007135B1A1
# iscsictl -L
Target name Target portal State
eui.000B56007135B1A1 192.168.3.111 Connected: da0
# dmesg

da0: Serial Number 000B56007135B1B10000

As the Serial Number indicates, iscsictl actually connected to
target eui.000B56007135B1B1.
