It always starts with iqn. yyyy-mm is the format of the date when this target is ac-
tivated. Find more about naming conventions in RFC 3722 (see
.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3722.txt).
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.
If you have access to an iSNS server, the first thing to configure is telling the target
about this server. Note, that the address of the iSNS server must always be given as
IP address. A normal domain name is not sufficient. The configuration for this function-
ality looks like the following:
iSNSServer 192.168.1.111
iSNSAccessControl no
This configuration makes the iSCSI target register itself with the iSNS server, which
in turn provides the discovery for initiators. For more about iSNS read Chapter 13,
