I am testinng the iSCSI functionality in the Openfiler 2.0 Beta 1. I have two Red Hat linux machines (linux4 and linux5), clustered and runing Oracle 10g with RAC option. At the moment I am using 250GB Maxtor II as a shared (cluster) storage, connected via firewire, and I would like to replace that with iSCSI based storage.
My Openfiler server (linux3) is up and running and I have setup 10 iSCSI targets, that my servers see as 10 iSCSI disks. I am able to use those disks as a shared storage for Oracle datafiles and it all works like a charm.
My questions are:
1. How do I set up Openfiler, so that only those two machines (linux4 and linux5) can see those iSCSI targets? At the moment, anyone on the network, that knows my Openfiler host name (linux3), can use (and destroy the content of) my iSCSI disks.
2. How do I publish new iSCSI targets, without restarting iscsi-target service on the Openfiler server? I discovered, this can be achieved by disabling, and then enabling the iSCSI service via the Openfiler Storage Control Center, but that effectively ineterrupts the service to all Openfiler iSCSIclients.
Thanks,
Bane
