HP Storageworks 8100 - enterprise virtual array, User Manual

Linux does not unmount file systems that are being used by a process; therefore, any process using
those devices must be stopped (see the man page for
fuser(1)
) before iSCSI devices can be
unmounted.
To prevent file system corruption, the iSCSI shutdown script automatically stops all processes using
devices in
/etc/fstab.iscsi
. The script sends a SIGTERM signal to stop the processes, followed
by a SIGKILL signal to stop any remaining processes. It then unmounts all iSCSI file systems and stops
the iSCSI daemon, terminating all connections to iSCSI devices.
CAUTION:
File systems not listed in
/etc/fstab.iscsi
cannot be unmounted automatically.
Presenting EVA storage for Linux
To present EVA storage for Linux:
1. Set up the LUNs by using HP Command View EVA, as described in Step 2 on page 58.
2. Set up the iSCSI drive on the iSCSI initiator.
a. Restart the iSCSI services:
/etc/rc.d/initd/iscsi restart
b. Verify that the iSCSI LUNs are presented to the operating system:
fdisk -l
iSCSI Initiator setup for VMware
The software iSCSI Initiator is built into the ESX server’s VMkernel and uses standard 10GigE/GigE
NICs to connect to the MPX200.
To set up software-based iSCSI storage connectivity:
1. Install the appropriate license from VMware to enable iSCSI software driver using the VMware
instructions.
