This guide will show you how to configure a drive to be reachable via iSCSI.
Configure Target (server) #
Step 1 #
Please run apt-get update and install tgt and lvm2 packages:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install tgt lvm2
Step 2 #
Please run lsblk and check which drive (assuming sdb) you would like to use on iSCSI:
$ lsblk
Step 3 #
Now create LVM and create LVM group named iscsi:
$ pvcreate /dev/sdb
$ vgcreate iscsi /dev/sdb
Step 4 #
Please create logical volume inside LVM group:
$ lvcreate -l 100%FREE iscsi
Step 5 #
Now create config file: /etc/tgt/conf.d/iscsi.conf and put there following content:
backing-store /dev/mapper/iscsi-lvol0 # LVM volume
initiator-address client-ip-address
incominguser client-scsi client-password
outgoinguser server-scsi server-password
Please remember to change client-ip-address, client-scsi client-password and server-scsi server-password with your own data.
Step 6
Please restart tgt service:
$ systemctl restart tgt
Step 7
Now you can check iSCSI targets:
$ tgtadm –mode target –op show
