Configure iSCSI Target (tgt)2016/06/22

Configure Storage Server with iSCSI.

This is the example of configuring iSCSI Target with scsi-target-utils.

[1]	Install scsi-target-utils.

[root@dlp ~]#

dnf -y install scsi-target-utils

[2]	Configure iSCSI Target. For example, create a disk image under the [/var/lib/iscsi_disks] directory and set it as a shared disk.

# create a disk image

[root@dlp ~]#

mkdir /var/lib/iscsi_disks

[root@dlp ~]#

dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/iscsi_disks/disk01.img count=0 bs=1 seek=10G

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /etc/tgt/targets.conf

# add follows to the end

# if you set some devices, add <target>-</target> and set the same way with follows

# naming rule : [ iqn.yaer-month.domain:any name ]

# provided devicce as a iSCSI target

backing-store /var/lib/iscsi_disks/disk01.img

# iSCSI Initiator's IP address you allow to connect

initiator-address 10.0.0.31

# authentication info ( set anyone you like for "username", "password" )

incominguser username password
</target>

[3]	If SELinux is enabled, change SELinux Context.

[root@dlp ~]#

dnf -y install policycoreutils-python-utils

[root@dlp ~]#

chcon -R -t tgtd_var_lib_t /var/lib/iscsi_disks

[root@dlp ~]#

semanage fcontext -a -t tgtd_var_lib_t /var/lib/iscsi_disks

[4]	If Firewalld is running, allow iSCSI Target service.

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-service=iscsi-target --permanent

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --reload

success

[5]	Start tgtd and verify status.

[root@dlp ~]#

systemctl start tgtd

[root@dlp ~]#

systemctl enable tgtd

# show status

[root@dlp ~]#

tgtadm --mode target --op show
