Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Review target configuration.
Verify the target service is running:
systemctl status target
Start and enable the target service:
systemctl start target && systemctl enable target
Review the iSCSI target configuration:
targetcli
/> ls
/> iscsi/iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.ip-10-0-1-10.x8664:sn.a3776832068c/tpg1/ get auth
- Review initiator configuration.
View existing block devices:
lsblk
Verify network connectivity to the target:
telnet 10.0.1.10 3260
Review the initiator configuration file:
vim /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
Comment out the authentication settings:
#node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP ... #node.session.auth.username = server2 #node.session.auth.password = secret
Check for existing target records:
iscsiadm -m node
Verify the name in
/etc/iscsi/initatorname.iscsi
matches the target ACL:cat /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
Retrieve the target from Server1:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 10.0.1.10
Connect to the target:
iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.ip-10-0-1-10.x8664:sn.a3776832068c -l
Verify the block device is available:
lsblk
