- Configure Target (Targetcli)
- Configure iSCSI Target (tgt)
- Configure iSCSI Initiator
Configure Storage Server with iSCSI.
This is the example of configuring iSCSI Target with scsi-target-utils. (tgt)
Storage server with iSCSI on network is called iSCSI Target, Client Host that connects to iSCSI Target is called iSCSI Initiator.
This example is based on the environment like follows
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ iSCSI Target ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.51| [ iSCSI Initiator ] |
| iscsi.srv.local +----------+----------+ client.srv.local |
| | | |
+----------------------+ +----------------------+
[1] Install administration tools.
root@iscsi:~# apt -y install tgt
[2] Configure iSCSI Target.
For example, create an disk-image under the [/var/lib/iscsi_disks] directory and set it as a SCSI device.
# create a disk image
root@iscsi:~# mkdir /var/lib/iscsi_disks
root@iscsi:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/iscsi_disks/disk01.img count=0 bs=1 seek=10G
root@iscsi ~# vi /etc/tgt/conf.d/target01.conf
# create new
# if you set some devices, add <target>-</target> and set the same way with follows
# naming rule : [ iqn.(year)-(month).(reverse of domain name):(any name you like) ]
<target iqn.2022-10.local.srv:iscsi.target01>
# provided devicce as a iSCSI target
backing-store /var/lib/iscsi_disks/disk01.img
# iSCSI Initiator's IQN you allow to connect
initiator-name iqn.2022-10.local.srv:client.initiator01
# authentication info ( set anyone you like for "username", "password" )
incominguser username password
</target>
root@iscsi:~# systemctl restart tgt
# show status
root@iscsi:~# tgtadm --mode target --op show
