About this Hands-on Lab

In this hands-on lab, you’ll be working to configure an iSCSI Target on a system using the YaST utility, including the preparation of the disk device to be shared and ensuring that the LIO iSCSI Target service is set up and running. You’ll then configure an iSCSI Target on your LIO iSCSI Server, confirm it’s working as expected using several utilities, check the configuration file’s details, and then configure the iSCSI initiator or client system to connect with the iSCSI Target and make the disk resource available on the client.

Additional Resources

In this lab, you're a mid-level systems operator who has heard that your company will be purchasing a storage area network (SAN) soon, and that you'll need to be able to use one of your servers as the iSCSI Target Server in front of the SAN device.

You've been tasked with setting up a trial iSCSI Target Server and connecting to it with an iSCSI client, which you'll do with two of your test systems. Instead of waiting for the SAN to arrive, you'll simulate its presence and disk resources with the target system's extra disk acting in place of the SAN resource.

You'll configure the disk resource for the iSCSI Target Server and then configure the iSCSI initiator or client to connect with the Target Server and cause the disk resources to be available locally on the client system.
