4. Verify that the iSCSI service starts automatically: #chkconfig iscsi on NOTE: For details, see the man pages for the iscsiadm open-iscsi administration utility. Installing and configuring the iSCSI driver for Red Hat 4 and 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 and 4 and SUSE 8 and 9. To install and configure the iSCSI driver for Red Hat 4 and SUSE 9: 1. Update the /etc/iscsi.conf file to include the IP address of the iSCSI target. The configuration file might include entries like this: DiscoveryAddress=33.33.33.101 For a detailed description of the configuration file format, enter the following command: man iscsi.conf 2. Manually start iSCSI services to test your configuration: /etc/init.d/iscsi start 3. Modify the /etc/.iscsi file to assign a meaningful name to the initiator. For example: InitiatorName=iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:servername.yourcompany.com NOTE: In most cases, you only modify the text following the colon. If there is a problem starting the iscsi daemon, it is usually due to an incorrect IP address or an incorrectly formatted initiator name. Installing the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat 3 and SUSE 8 If you are upgrading from a previous version of an iSCSI driver, HP recommends that you remove the /etc/.iscsi file before installing the new driver.
