You can always be logged into the target, for example, to test if the auth 
models are working or not. It does not have to reflect a device appearance on 
the initiator.

As for the typo on the target side that you mentioned in the initial post, it 
is the target that should error out on start-up.

The iscsiadm utility's job is Discovery, Login, Rescan and a bunch of other 
stuff. It does not bother if the target that you discovered, has LUNs for your 
initiator or not.

Nothing to do with the initiator.

For the Linux iscsitarget, ietadm is what should do the diagnosis for the 
target.
