One should specify "-T" in the iscsiadm command setting node.startup = automatic

[dohughes-msft]

In the section where you connect the iSCSI target devices, you should specify the target (-T <target>) when setting the node.startup = automatic. If there are multiple targets (e.g. NFS, DB, ASCS) then they will all be set to automatic and then the start of the iscsi service will fail because this node only has access to its own target, in this case NFS.

In other words I recommend updating the commands to:

sudo iscsiadm -m discovery --type=st --portal=10.0.0.17:3260
sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2006-04.nfs.local:nfs --login --portal=10.0.0.17:3260
==> sudo iscsiadm -m node -p 10.0.0.17:3260 -T iqn.2006-04.nfs.local:nfs --op=update --name=node.startup --value=automatic

If you want to use multiple SBD devices, also connect to the second iSCSI target server

sudo iscsiadm -m discovery --type=st --portal=10.0.0.18:3260
sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2006-04.nfs.local:nfs --login --portal=10.0.0.18:3260
==> sudo iscsiadm -m node -p 10.0.0.18:3260 -T iqn.2006-04.nfs.local:nfs --op=update --name=node.startup --value=automatic

If you want to use multiple SBD devices, also connect to the third iSCSI target server

sudo iscsiadm -m discovery --type=st --portal=10.0.0.19:3260
sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2006-04.nfs.local:nfs --login --portal=10.0.0.19:3260
==> sudo iscsiadm -m node -p 10.0.0.19:3260 -T iqn.2006-04.nfs.local:nfs --op=update --name=node.startup --value=automatic
