Configuring Host Access to Volumes
This section provides information about configuring the host access to iSCSI
volumes using the iscsiadm tool. The iscsiadm tool is the open-iSCSI
administration utility.
1
Log in to the system as root . 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-6.2.0.871-0.16.el5_4.1
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.
chkconfig --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.
