Access AWS storage gateway volume using Linux iscsi initiator fails.

Question

**Steps:-**
1. Deployed AWS Volume Gateway on EC2. 
* Service endpoint type **Public**
* Used VPC say : **VPC-ABC**, Subnet: **My-subnet**, 
* Gateway EC2 Public IP for e.g. 10.10.10.5

2. Deployed CentOS-9 EC2 instance in same VPC in which Volume gateway is deployed. (i.e. VPC-ABC, Subnet: My-subnet, Auto assign public IP as **YES**)

3. Now from the EC2 system deployed in step #3, performed  iSCSI discovery.
* For e.g.  iscsiadm -m discovery -t st --portal 10.10.10.5:3260 (Here discovery work fine)

4. Now performed iSCSI login.
* For e.g.  iscsiadm -m node --targetname  --portal <10.10.10.5>:3260 --login (Here login gives error as **iscsiadm: No records found**)

Please assist as to how volumes can be accessed from linux initiator.

**NOTE**:- All above VPC, subnet, IP are for better understanding of scenario and not the real names/IP's.

Answer

Please refer to below document for connecting to volume gateway using linux initiator 
  >> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/vgw/GettingStarted-use-volumes.html#issci-rhel

I replicated the setup at my end with by client and gateway in same VPC and subnet

sudo /sbin/iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal :3260

sudo /sbin/iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.1997-05.com.amazon:anant --portal :3260,1 --login

In case you are still facing the issue please verify that the gateway is accepting the connection on port 3260
