Configuring Host Access to Volumes
This section details the steps to configure the host access to iSCSI volumes
using the iscsiadm tool. The iscsiadm tool is the open-iSCSI administration
utility.
1
Log into the system as root user . Verify the open-iSCSI initiator software is
installed on all host systems:
rpm -qa|grep -i iscsi-initiator
If the open-iSCSI initiator RPM is installed, the following output is
displayed:
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.868-0.7.el5
If the output is not displayed, install the open-iSCSI initiator RPM.
2 Start up the iSCSI service.
service iscsi start
3
Enable the iSCSI service start-up at boot time.
hkconfig --add iscsi
chkconfig iscsi on
chkconfig --list iscsi
4
Obtain the hardware address of each network interface on the host used
for iSCSI traffic.
grep -i hwaddr /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/ifcfg-eth
n ,
where n is the network interface number.
