Open-iscsi is connecting to the target you've specified in every way that it can, since you did not specify otherwise. Have you done discovery? What is the output of "iscsiadm -m node -P1"? Once you are connected, what is the output of "iscsiadm -m session -P1"? I'm guessing, though, that you can restrict your connections by using an "interface" file. See /etc/iscsi/ifaces/iface.example. By using an interface file, you can restrict your connection to a particular NIC, for example. Then you specify "-I IFACE" on your discovery request.
