The document discusses ISCSI server configuration. An ISCSI server acts as a storage target, allowing clients to access disks over IP networks using SCSI commands. The server software provides a target and the clients use an initiator. The steps shown configure an ISCSI server by installing packages, editing configuration files, restarting services, and logging clients in to access newly available disks over the network.

- 1. ISCSI Server Configuration ISCSI Server is a storage server. Using this we can share the Storage disks. ISCSI target (server) Storage resource located on an iSCSI server known as a "target". An iSCSI target usually represents nothing but hard disk storage. As with initiators, software to provide an iSCSI target is available for most mainstream operating systems. SCSI initiator (client) An initiator functions as an iSCSI client. An initiator typically serves the same purpose to a computer as a SCSI bus adapter would, except that instead of physically cabling SCSI devices (like hard drives and tape changers), an iSCSI initiator sends SCSI commands over an IP network. Server Configuration Install the packages: Configuration File: Re-Edit the Lines. Before Editing: After Editing Here * * is client IP & Subnet ISCSI Server Configuration – Thamizharasan P

- 3. Find The IQN name of shared ISCSI Server. (IQN : ISCSI Qualified Name) IQN is communicate with Target Here : 172.30.100.250- Server IP . -m:Mode ; -t:Target ; st : Send Target P: Port Login into the ISCSI Server. Give the IQN name, Here: l-login Now we can find New disk /dev/sdc. ISCSI Server Configuration – Thamizharasan P
- 4. Logout from ISCSI Server. Here /dev/sdc disk is not there. That’s it By Thamizharasan P Linux Administrator Email:rpthamizh@gmail.com LinkedIn: in.linkedin.com/pub/thamizharasan-p/25/203/62 ISCSI Server Configuration – Thamizharasan P
