Volumes on EVMS Devices Do Not Appear When Using iSCSI

If you have installed and configured an iSCSI SAN, and have created and configured EVMS disks or volumes on that iSCSI SAN, your EVMS volumes might not be visible or accessible after reboot. This problem is caused by EVMS starting before the iSCSI service. iSCSI must be started and running before any disks or volumes on the iSCSI SAN can be accessed.

To resolve this problem, use the chkconfig command at the Linux server console of every server that is part of your iSCSI SAN to correct the order that iSCSI and EVMS are started.
