Assuming you have a Sun Storage 7000 series iSCSI target, please note
that default ubuntu installation will create a random iSCSI initiator name.
In order to grant access to the iSCSI target during installation, we add it
to the iSCSI target group named "default" (with no ACL).

After the installation is finished, we change the initiator name in several
places (/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi, /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs), update
initramfs and move the iSCSI target to an initiator group with ACL.

On the other hand, we haven't managed to grant access to iSCSI targets
through username and password yet. So we're using a private network,
our own random initiator names and an initiator group with ACL for each
initiator name.

Hope that helps!
