12.2.1 Using YaST for the iSCSI Initiator
Configuration
The configuration is divided into three tabs. The Service tab may be used to enable the
iSCSI initiator at boot time. The Connected Targets tab gives an overview of the cur-
rently connected iSCSI targets. Like the Discovered Targets tab, it gives the option to
add new targets to the system. Discovered Targets is the tab to start with. It provides
the possibility of discovering iSCSI targets in the network.
1 Use Discovery to open the discovery dialog.
2 Enter the IP address and change the port if necessary.
3 If necessary, add the Incoming or Outgoing authentication.
4 Use Next to start the discovery.
After a successful discovery, use Login to activate the target. You will be asked for
authentication information to use the selected iSCSI target. Next finishes the configura-
tion. If everything went well, the target now appears in Connected Targets.
The virtual iSCSI device is now available. Find the actual device with lsscsi:
lsscsi
[1:0:0:0] disk
12.2.2 Setting Up the iSCSI Initiator
Manually
Both the discovery and the configuration of iSCSI connections require a running iscsid.
When running the discovery the first time, the internal database of the iSCSI initiator
is created in the directory /var/lib/open-iscsi.
If your discovery is password protected, provide the authentication information to iscsid.
Because the internal database does not exist when doing the first discovery, it cannot
be used at this time. Instead, the configuration file /etc/iscsid.conf must be
IET VIRTUAL-DISK 0 /dev/sda
