In this very simple example, the storage system does not use authentica-
tion. Many properties of iSCSI can be set in /etc/iscsi.conf. Find de-
tails in the manual page for iSCSI.
After iSCSI has been configured, start the iSCSI subsystem with the
rciscsi start command. The system should output the following mes-
sages:
rciscsi start
Starting iSCSI: iscsi iscsid fsck/mount done
The /etc/initiatorname.iscsi file is set up at the first initialization
and will be used by the computer in the future to log in to iSCSI storage.
This file cannot simply be copied. It must be created from scratch for every
host.
If the start has been successful, the system messages indicate which devices
have been recognized. View system messages with dmesg. The various de-
vices are now available under /dev/sda or /dev/sdb, for example, and
can be partitioned and formatted as required. The mount points for file sys-
tems on the recognized devices should be entered in /etc/fstab.iscsi.
These file systems are mounted when iSCSI is started.
Publications relating to iSCSI can be found on the project web site at
http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net/.
