Scsi-target-utils Quickstart Guide

About

This page is intended to outline a series of steps need to quickly get a scsi-target-utils based iSCSI software target working.

Most of these instructions can also be found in a README provided by the scsi-target-utils package (see /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-0.9.2/README.iscsi).

Installation

Start by installing the scsi-target-utils package.

# yum install scsi-target-utils

Configuration

Firewall

Ensure, port 3260 is available for incoming connection and there is no firewall in the way between target and test machine.

• Either stop your firewall:

  # service iptables stop

• Or, open up port 3260 for traffic using:

  # system-config-firewall

• Or, modify your iptables configuration manually by
  1. editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables
  2. Then restarting iptables:

     # service iptables restart

Selinux

FIXME - detail any selinux considerations on the target.
