Identifier
The Identifier is freely selectable. It should follow some scheme to make the whole
system more structured.
LUN
It is possible to assign several LUNs to a target. To do this, select a target in the
Targets tab then click Edit. There, add new LUNs to an existing target.
Path
Add the path to the block device or file system image to export.
The next menu configures the access restrictions of the target. The configuration is very
similar to the configuration of the discovery authentication. In this case, at least an in-
coming authentication should be setup.
Next finishes the configuration of the new target, and brings you back to the overview
page of the Target tab. Activate your changes by clicking on Finish.
12.1.2 Configuring an iSCSI Target Manually
Configure an iSCSI target in /etc/ietd.conf. All parameters in this file before
the first Target declaration are global for the file. Authentication information in this
portion has a special meaning—it is not global, but is used for the discovery of the
iSCSI target.
All iSCSI authentication may be done in two directions. The iSCSI target can require
the iSCSI initiator to authenticate with the IncomingUser, which can be added
multiple times. The iSCSI initiator may also require the iSCSI target to authenticate.
Use OutgoingUser for this. Both have the same syntax:
IncomingUser <username> <password>
OutgoingUser <username> <password>
The authentication is followed by one or several target definitions. For each target, add
a Target section. This section always starts with a Target identifier followed by
definitions of logical unit numbers:
Target iqn.yyyy-mm.<reversed domain name>[:identifier]
Lun 0 Path=/dev/mapper/system-v3
Lun 1 Path=/dev/hda4
Lun 2 Path=/var/lib/xen/images/xen-1,Type=fileio
