I've just seen this same error with tgtd only exporting a small number of targets (66): # iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 0a2bc790-aab9-45bd-ad58-6fd7d9b2aae7.storage.elastichosts.com | wc -l iscsiadm: Cannot resolve host 172.16.226.12. getaddrinfo error: [Servname not supported for ai_socktype] iscsiadm: cannot resolve 172.16.226.12 iscsiadm: failed to add default portal, ignoring target iqn.2008-03.com.elastichosts:ad0b32d2-c220-4be5-a609-5ea063f0a4cc:176fe3df-bead-4871-bd4b-dfce6d9930f7 iscsiadm: failed to add target record iscsiadm: This command will remove the record [iface: default, target: iqn.2008-03.com.elastichosts:ad0b32d2-c220-4be5-a609-5ea063f0a4cc:8f3d70f4-9242-4754-853f-1c2d7a1560ab, portal: 172.16.226.12,3260], but a session is using it.

The mysterious 'Servname not supported for ai_socktype' just means that a corrupted string has been supplied for the port number.)
