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/<initiatorname>.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/<initiatorname>.iscsi file before installing the new driver. See the following website
for the latest version of the Linux driver for EVA iSCSI connectivity:
