Step 2. Configure the Initiator.

[[root@sqa070 ~ ]# vim /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf

node.startup = automatic

## Optional: for CHAP authentication, uncomment the following #lines

#discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP

#discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = joe

#discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = secret

#node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP

#node.session.auth.username = jack

#node.session.auth.password = 12charsecret

node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 120

node.conn[0].timeo.login_timeout = 15

node.conn[0].timeo.logout_timeout = 15

node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 10

node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 15

node.session.initial_login_retry_max = 10

node.session.cmds_max = 128

node.session.queue_depth = 32

node.session.iscsi.InitialR2T = No

node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = Yes

node.session.iscsi.FirstBurstLength = 262144

node.session.iscsi.MaxBurstLength = 16776192

node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 131072

discovery.sendtargets.iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 32768

node.session.iscsi.FastAbort = No

Step 3. Start the iSCSI Initiator service.

[root@sqa070 ~ ]# service iscsi start

Step 4. Discover the iSCSI target host.

In the example below, the IP address 12.7.6.30 is the iSCSI target.

[root@sqa070 ~ ]# iscsid start

[root@sqa070 ~ ]# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 12.7.6.30

Starting iscsid: [ OK ]

12.7.6.30:3260,1 iqn.2013-10.qalab.com:sqa030.prt9

Achieving a successful target discovery at this stage is mandatory for proceeding with the

process of iSCSI boot. A failure at this stage is probably a result of an erroneous target or

network configuration and troubleshooting that is out of the scope of this document.

Step 5. Log into the target.

[root@sqa070 ~ ]# iscsiadm -m node -p 12.7.6.30 -T iqn.2013-10.qalab.com:sqa030.prt9

--login

Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2013-10.qalab.com:sqa030.prt9, portal:

12.7.6.30,3260] (multiple)

12.7.6.30,3260] successful.

A successful LUN login at this stage is mandatory for proceeding with the process of

iSCSI boot. A failure at this stage is probably a result of an erroneous target or network

configuration and troubleshooting that is out of the scope of this document.
