iSCSI on Linux

mastachef · Mon Jul 28, 2008 11:58 am

I have an ImageFile on a physica partition (Windows Server 2003). I have setup, I believe, RHEL 4 with iSCSI support and I am able to connect to the ImageFile. Now, my next task is to be able to manipulate the file from the Linux client.

My question is how does one connect to the ImageFile? What should I be looking at as far as the process of mounting on the Linux side? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You're connecting to iSCSI target. What does it do to virtualize at the low end it's really it's own problem. So for you it's an emulated hard disk.

Anton, thanks very much. I was able to get it working with Bohdan's help (and notes). Keep up the good work you guys.

I meant to ask this a bit ago. For Linux (RHEL4), the /etc/initiatorname.iscsi file can be edited for a target name. Is it possible to add more than one target name in this file and what would be the syntax?

We're busy enough with our own software. So please bug Red Hat with this question
