Solaris 10 x86 iSCSI IQN Changes on every Reconfigure Boot (Doc ID 1604118.1)

Last updated on JUNE 05, 2019

Applies to:

Solaris Operating System - Version 10 10/09 U8 to 10 1/13 U11 [Release 10.0]
Oracle Solaris on x86 (32-bit)
Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)

Symptoms

iSCSI creates a new IQN (iScsi Qualified Name, aka Initiator Node Name) on every reboot. Under normal condition this IQN is created during the first start of the SMF service network/iscsi/initiator and do not change unless one is doing a fresh Operating System installation.

This causes all host specific storage mappings to fail.

Changing the IQN back with iscsiadm works, but the IQN will change again on the next reboot.
