ISCSI (Internet SCSI): Enables the sending of SCSI commands from clients over IP to SCSI storage devices on remote servers


The SCSI fabric is based on the client/server model, and the typical application environment is that the devices are close to each other and the devices are connected by a SCSI bus. The main function of ISCSI is toTCP/IPon the networkHost System(initiator initiator) and storage device (target object) for a large amount of data encapsulation andReliable Transmissionprocess. In addition, ISCSI provides encapsulation of SCSI commands on IP networks and runs inTCPon.

First, the server-side configuration is as follows:

1. Install and start the service

[[email protected] desktop]# Yum install targetcli-y# installing iSCSI target Package [[email protected] desktop]# systemctl start target# startup t arget service [[email protected] desktop]# Systemctl enable target# set up service boot from


2. Enter iSCSI Interactive configuration mode

Set up a firewall

[[email protected] desktop]# firewall-cmd--permanent--add-port=3260/tcp# will be used to join the firewall allowed Success[[email protected] desktop]# Firewall-cmd--reload #重载防火墙的设置success


Second, the client configuration is as follows:

[[email protected] desktop]# yum install iscsi-initiator-utils -y# Install iSCSI Initiator Package [ [email protected] desktop]# vim /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi# set Initiator's iqninitiatorname= Iqn.2016-03.pt.example2:desktop[[email protected] desktop]# iscsiadm -m discovery  -t st -p 172.25.254.209   #获得可以访问共享的块172 .25.254.209:3260,1  Iqn.2016-03.pt.example1:storage[[email protected] desktop]# iscsiadm -m node -t  iqn.2016-03.pt.example1:storage -p 172.25.254.209 -l# connecting iSCSI target blocks on the service side to native Logging in  to [iface: default, target: iqn.2016-03.pt.example1:storage, portal:  172.25.254.209,3260]  (multiple) login to [iface: default, target:  Iqn.2016-03.pt.example1:storage, portal: 172.25.254.209,3260] successful.

The resulting iSCSI resources can then be used normally, formatted and mounted.




####### #中断使用ISCSI目标 #########

Unmount the mount first to ensure that no devices provided by the target are used

[[email protected] desktop]# iscsiadm-m node-t iqn.2016-03.pt.example1:storage-p 172.25.254.209-u# exit the iSCSI target to temporarily disconnect [ [Email protected] desktop]# iscsiadm-m node-t iqn.2016-03.pt.example1:storage-p 172.25.254.209-o-delete #删除本地连接ISCSI目标的本地记录 to permanently disconnect
