If your EVMS devices, RAIDs, and volumes use storage devices from an iSCSI SAN, make sure that your system starts iSCSI before EVMS so that the SAN and its disks are available to EVMS on system startup. iSCSI must be started and running before any disks or volumes on the iSCSI SAN can be accessed. If EVMS starts before iSCSI, EVMS cannot see or access the devices in the iSCSI SAN to mount the storage objects they contain, so the EVMS devices, RAIDs, and volumes might not be visible or accessible.
If EVMS starts before iSCSI on your system so that your EVMS devices, RAIDs, and volumes are not visible or accessible, you must correct the order in which iSCSI and EVMS are started. Enter the chkconfig command at the Linux server console of every server that is part of your iSCSI SAN.
