Configure iSCSI Target (targetcli)
2017/07/17 |
Configure Storage Server with iSCSI.
A storage on a network is called iSCSI Target, a Client which connects to iSCSI Target is called iSCSI Initiator.
This example is based on the environment below.
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+ | [ iSCSI Target ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.31| [ iSCSI Initiator ] | | dlp.srv.world +----------+----------+ www.srv.world | | | | | +----------------------+ +----------------------+ |
[1] | Install administration tools first. |
[root@dlp ~]# dnf -y install targetcli
|
[2] | Configure iSCSI Target. For example, create an disk-image under the [/var/lib/iscsi_disks] directory and set it as a SCSI device. |
# enter the admin console [root@dlp ~]# targetcli targetcli shell version 2.1.fb46 Copyright 2011-2013 by Datera, Inc and others. For help on commands, type 'help'.
