Recently I have created iSCSI Target with /dev/sda1 partition (1Gb with ext4 filesystem created), and iSCSI Initiator. Every service works correct without visible errors. Initiator successfully logged in to get target device.
Output of discovery command from Initiator:
root@Nitro5:/dev/disk/by-id# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.8.0.1
10.8.0.1:3260,1 iqn.2020-09.tech.biowar.storagesrv01.target01
Output of lsblk of SCSI devices from Initiator:
root@Nitro5:/dev/disk/by-id# lsblk -S
NAME HCTL TYPE VENDOR MODEL REV TRAN
sda 1:0:0:0 disk ATA WDC_WD10SPZX-21Z10T0 1A02 sata
Output of lsblk command. Also from Initiator:

But there are no unmounted SCSI devices in main lsblk list. I have no idea where is SCSI device and how to mount it. How can I mount my device? Thanks in advance!

The first command you listed is a discovery. Server is sending the iSCSI targets available to the initiator. Now you should login the the target. You can use the following example:
Afterwards, the following command will list the connected target and details. At the end of the output you will see where the scsi disk is attached.
