I am trying to automate mounting/unmounting of iSCSI mounts on Ubuntu 16.04.
1) How do I list all the iSCSI mounts present on the Linux system? For example, NFS mounts can be listed using 'df -h -t nfs'.
2) Once I connect to the iSCSI server(target), on the iSCSI client(initiator) how do I identify if the filesystem is sda, sdb or sdc? dmsg would give this info but I am looking for a command to fetch this.
Retrieve the iSCSI sessions:
# iscsiadm -m session
tcp: [7] 172.16.5.148:3260,1 iqn.2009-12.com.blockbridge:t-pjxfzuecga-eajejghg (non-flash)
tcp: [8] 172.16.5.148:3260,1 iqn.2009-12.com.blockbridge:t-pjxfzufjjo-pokqaja (non-flash)
tcp: [9] 172.16.5.148:3260,1 iqn.2009-12.com.blockbridge:t-pjxfzufjkp-illoghjk (non-flash)
Retrieve the list of SCSI devices on the system, including their transports. Filter by IQN:
# lsscsi -t | grep iqn
[8:0:0:0] disk iqn.2009-12.com.blockbridge:t-pjxfzuecga-eajejghg,t,0x1 /dev/sda
[9:0:0:0] disk iqn.2009-12.com.blockbridge:t-pjxfzufjjo-pokqaja,t,0x1 /dev/sdb
[10:0:0:0] disk iqn.2009-12.com.blockbridge:t-pjxfzufjkp-illoghjk,t,0x1 /dev/sdc
The best way to ensure you've got the right drive is to map drives that have actual SCSI ID's (WWN). These are accessible with lsscsi -i:
# lsscsi -i

Or, perhaps better, in /dev/disk/by-id:
# cd /dev/disk/by-id
# ls -l scsi*
