I see no support for snmp in open-iscsi, and discussions in the
open-iscsi forum has been answered with "no support", although these
discussions dates a number of years back. But I have searched the
forums for snmp and didn't find anything mentioning any added support.

I might still be wrong on this, but doing "snmpwalk" I couldn't find
anything iSCSI related. So if there is support, I do not know how to
enable it.
