Configure iSCSI

Setup initiator iqn

Setup a new iqn: 

# /sbin/iscsi-iname

The result is in /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

## DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS FILE!
## If you remove this file, the iSCSI daemon will not start.
## If you change the InitiatorName, existing access control lists
## may reject this initiator.  The InitiatorName must be unique
## for each iSCSI initiator.  Do NOT duplicate iSCSI InitiatorNames.
InitiatorName=iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:4efdaa48c123

Startup multipathing

From the multipath(1) man page: 

-r Force a reload of all existing multipath maps. This command is delegated to the
multipathd daemon if it's running. In this case, other command line switches of the multipath
command have no effect.
-ll Show ("list") the current multipath topology from all available information (sysfs, the
device mapper, path checkers ...).

# multipath -r

# multipath -ll
