Chapter 2. Accessing Storage Clusters via iSCSI
In this example, two Acronis Storage nodes host one iSCSI target each, while the third hosts two iSCSI targets.
Each node connects to two networks: internal for storage cluster communication and external (in relation to
the storage cluster) for iSCSI exporting. Each iSCSI target has a unique static IP address from a dedicated
subnet of the datacenter network.
2.1 Preparing to Work with iSCSI Targets
On each node where you want to create iSCSI targets, do the following:
1. Make sure the vstorage-iscsi and vstorage-scsi-target-utils packages are installed on the node.
2. Make sure that the node has access to the Acronis Storage cluster as client and has an entry in
/etc/fstab.
3. Create a directory in the Acronis Storage cluster where you will store iSCSI targets and their
configurations. For example, /vstorage/stor1/iscsi.
4. Set the ISCSI_ROOT variable in /etc/vstorage/iscsi/config to the directory from the previous step. For
example:
