Hi Albert, I am running RHEL 5.5 and isns-utils-0.91-0.1.el5. I do not see this behavior. In both the cases (tgtd shutdown and iSNS off), the behavior is clean. i.e tgtd deregisters from the iSNS properly. What version of Redhat and open-isns are you using ? regards, chandra PS: I have some other problems with open-isns though.
