2.2. Creating iSCSI Targets

ISCSI_ROOT=/vstorage/stor1/iscsi

You are now ready to create iSCSI targets in your Acronis Storage cluster.

2.2 Creating iSCSI Targets

Note:

1. Each iSCSI target must be assigned at least one unique IP address from DC network’s static pool.

2. The name of each iSCSI target must be unique in the Acronis Storage cluster.

3. Acronis Storage iSCSI targets support persistent reservations to allow iSCSI initiators obtain

exclusive access to the speciﬁed target’s LUNs.

To create a target test1 with the size of 100 GB, the LUN of 1, and the IP address of 192.168.10.100, execute

the following commands:

# vstorage-iscsi create -n test1 -a 192.168.10.100

IQN: iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1

# vstorage-iscsi lun-add -t iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1 -l 1 -s 100G

# vstorage-iscsi start -t iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1

Note:

1. If you need to change target’s IP address, stop the target as described in Stopping iSCSI Targets on

page 8, then run the command vstorage-iscsi set -t <target_name> -a <new_IP_address>.

2. If you need to increase the size of a LUN, stop the target as described in Stopping iSCSI Targets on

page 8, then run the command vstorage-iscsi lun-grow -t <target_name> -l <lun_ID> -s

<new_size>.

To check that the target is up, run the vstorage-iscsi list command with the target’s name as the option.

For example:

# vstorage-iscsi list -t iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1

Target iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1:
