Connecting iSCSI Targets for Linux
The following instructions describe how to connect iSCSI targets using Linux
Open-iSCSI Initiator. Open-iSCSI Initiator is available for Redhat Enterprise Linux,
CentOS, Fedora Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu operating systems. For more information
about using Open-iSCSI with your specific Linux operating system, refer to your
Linux distribution web site.
1. Install Open-iSCSI initiator.
To install the iSCSI initiator, enter the following command:
# yum install iscsi-initiator-utils
For Ubuntu and Debian operating systems, enter the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install open-iscsi
2. Discover iSCSI Targets.
To discover the RDX QuikStation 4 iSCSI targets, enter the following command,
replacing the variable
RDX QuikStation IP address with the actual IP address for
your RDX QuikStation 4:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p
RDX QuikStation ip
address
Depending on how you configured the logical device type for the RDX
QuikStation 4, you will see one to four iSCSI targets.
3. Connect iSCSI targets.
To connect all discovered iSCSI targets, enter the following command:
# iscsiadm -m node -L all
To connect to an individual target, enter the following command, replacing target
IQN
name with the iSCSI qualified name (IQN) of the target and replacing target
portal with the RDX QuikStation 4 IP Address:
# iscsiadm -m node -T
target IQN name
-p
target portal
--login
Once all iSCSI targets are connected, the initiator (Linux host) can use the iSCSI
disks as a normal disk. It appears under /dev/sdx devices and you can format,
mount iSCSI disks like a normal disk.
