NOTE: The iSCSI driver package is included but is not installed by default. Install the package iscsi-initiator-utils during or after operating system installation. 1. Use the iscsiadm command to control discovery and connectivity: # iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.6.0.33:3260 2. Edit the initiator name: # vi /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi 3. To start the iSCSI service use the service command: # service iscsi start 4. Verify that the iSCSI service autostarts: #chkconfig iscsi on NOTE: For more detail, see the man pages regarding the iscsiadm open-iscsi administration utility. Installing and configuring for Red Hat 4 and SUSE 9 To install and configure for Red Hat 4 and for SUSE 9: NOTE: The iSCSI driver is included with the Red Hat 4 and SUSE 9 distributions and is installed by default. Configuration is the same for Red Hat 3, 4, SUSE 8 and 9. 1. Update /etc/iscsi.conf to include the IP address of your iSCSI target. A sample configuration file might include entries like this: DiscoveryAddress=33.33.33.101 For a more detailed description of the configuration file format, enter: man iscsi.conf 2. Enter the following command to manually start iSCSI services to test your configuration: /etc/init.d/iscsi start 3. Modify the /etc/initiatorname.iscsi file to reflect a meaningful name for the initiator. For example: InitiatorName=iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:servername.yourcompany.com NOTE: In most cases, the only part of the file requiring modification is after the colon. If there are problems starting the iscsi daemon, they are usually caused by an incorrect IP Address or an ill-formatted initiator name. Installing the initiator for Red Hat 3 and SUSE 8 If you are upgrading from a previous installation of an iSCSI driver, HP recommends that you remove the /etc/initiatorname.iscsi file before installing the new driver.
