iSCSI Configuration for Red Hat or SUSE Linux iSCSI Configuration for Red Hat or SUSE Linux This section provides information on supported iSCSI HBAs and initiators for Red Hat and SuSE Linux operating systems. Configuration Notes The QLogic QLA4050/4052 initiator supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, QU4, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10. This initiator provides CHAP authentication and can connect to multiple targets simultaneously. The SANSurfer utility is included with the HBA to initiate, monitor, and change iSCSI targets using its text-based user interface. Installation and configuration information for the QLogic QLA4050/4052 HBA is included with the adapter and is also available for download from the QLogic Web site. For information on the installation and configuration of the UNH and in-box initiators, proceed to the next sections. Installing and Configuring the In-box iSCSI Initiator RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 has an in-box software iSCSI initiator, located on the software CD. Setting up an In-box iSCSI Initiator 1 Insert the CD with the in-box iscsi initiator rpm 2 Use RPM Manager or the rpm command to install the iscsi rpm if it was not installed during the Linux installation. 3 The initialization script will be installed as /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsi. 4 An iSCSI name (similar to iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:01.b3544e7c24dd) will be generated and written to /etc/initiatorname.iscsi. 5 Edit your /etc/iscsi.conf file to add the iSCSI target. linux:~ #:vi /etc/iscsi.conf 6 If you aren't sure how to configure your initiator, navigate to the DiscoveryAddress keyword in the config file and use it to define an address to discover. Note If the DiscoveryAddress line is commented out (has a # before it), remove the #, and enter the IP address of your iSCSI target. a If you are not configuring CHAP authentication, use this command: DiscoveryAddress=10.10.1.100 Appendix A Configuring iSCSI Initiators 169
