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 iSCSI targets, enter the following
command, replacing the variable RDX QuikStation IP address with the actual
IP address for your RDX QuikStation:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p
RDX QuikStation
ip address
Depending on how you configured the logical device type for the
QuikStation, you will see two to eight 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 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.
