That's a logout to a specific node and dataport.  If you're wrong about
the IQN and/or dataport, it's not going to work.

I think you want:

    iscsiadm -m node -u

And for good measure:

    iscsiadm -m session -u

If you do want to delete specific discovery records and need to identify
the dataport associated with them:

    iscsiadm -m discoverydb

... will print them.

If you're going to that extent, you can umount all remote targets,
disable iscsid and iscsi services, reboot, and clear out the various
entries under /var/lib/iscsi/.  Leave the directories
(/var/lib/iscsi/*/), but remove the files beneath them.

Note that this is a bit like doing brain surgery with a sledgehammer.
Lacking in finess, but for some jobs, effective.


You might also try posting to the open-iscsi mailing list.  I've found
that iscsi is very tempermental and poorly understood by most.
