Header digest and data digest

This section describes how to reset the digest fields to none.

When you are discovering a target, do not set the header digest and data digest to CRC32 because it is not supported in the discovery phase. Set the value to none.

To set the header digest and data digest parameter to none, use the following commands:

  1. Issue the following command:
    iscsiadm modify initiator-node –h none –d none
  2. After you have set up the connection to the target, you can change the digest fields to CRC32.
    • Set the header digest to CRC32.
      iscsiadm modify initiator-node -h CRC32
    • Set the data digest to CRC32.
      iscsiadm modify initiator-node –d CRC32
  3. Display the updated parameter information for the iSCSI target device.
    iscsiadm list target-param -v iqn.1992-08.com.abcstorage:sn.84186266
    Target: iqn.1992-08.com.abcstorage:sn.84186266

  4. The initiator reconnects with the target after you modify the parameter.
  5. Verify that the iSCSI initiator reconnects to the iSCSI target.
    iscsiadm list target -v iqn.1992-08.com.abcstorage:sn.84186266
    Target: iqn.1992-08.com.abcstorage:sn.84186266
