Test with iSCSI Initiator

Install required packages

AT the storage client machine, do:

yum install iscsi-initiator-utils

Configuration

Edit file /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi to set your name, example:

InitiatorName=iqn.2010-07.com.example:node1

Connection

Start the daemon as it is not started by default:

service iscsid start

Import target devices into database:

iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.0.120

# tree /var/lib/iscsi/

/var/lib/iscsi/
|-- ifaces
|-- isns
|-- nodes
|   `-- iqn.2010-07.com.example:storage.disk
|       `-- 192.168.0.120,3260,1
|           `-- default
|-- send_targets
|   `-- 192.168.0.120,3260

|       `-- st_config
|-- slp
`-- static

Note: For debian, the node database is under /etc/iscsi/.

Connect (login) to the target

iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2010-07.com.example:storage.disk -l

Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2010-07.com.example:storage.disk, portal: 192.168.0.120,3260]

The disk is connected as /dev/sda. Sample dmesg output:
