iSCSI

Initiator config

Kernel Update Needed
The current kernel does not support iSCSI transport.

Host is OpenRD

1. Install the iscsi-initiator-utils package.
2. Placed "InitiatorName=iqn.2000-10.ca.on.senecac.hongkong" in /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
3. Start the iscsi and iscsid services.
4. Discover the remote targets: iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p hongkong:3260
5. List the targets: iscsiadm -m node -- the remote target(s) should be shown.
6. Login to the targets: iscsiadm -m node -l
7. You will now have an additional scsi disk device. Use this as one element of a RAID-1 array, using local storage (an LV or a looped-back file) as the other element.
8. Mount the new RAID-1 array and create a filesystem on it. Place some files there.
9. Unmount the filesystem, stop the array, log out of the iSCSI disk (iscsiadm -m node -u).
10. Verify that the filesystem can be locally read on the machine hosting the target.
