Syntax for "logging in" to regular file
Hi, 1.To discover targets, iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 'target_ip' 2.For login, iscsiadm -m node -T 'target_name' -p 'target_ip':3260 --login 3. Use exported disk on initiator(create PV,LV,use that LV etc.) 4. For logout, iscsiadm -m node -T 'target_name' -p 'target_ip':3260 --logout All above is for Virtual block devices(RAID/LVM). What are the similar commands if i want to discover,login,logout "regular files"? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.

If on the target you are exporting regular files as storage, IET will do some magic so to the initiator they look like disks, and so the commands are the same. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.

Currently iSCSI targets contains LV's. -- Target iqn.2008-06.com.qualexsystems:Tar3 Alias Tar3 #instead of adding LV here,regular file should be added. Lun 0 Path=/dev/Vg1/lvISCSI3,Type=fileio HeaderDigest CRC32C,None InitialR2T Yes MaxBurstLength 262144 MaxRecvDataSegmentLength 8192 DataPDUInOrder Yes ImmediateData No MaxXmitDataSegmentLength 8192 FirstBurstLength 65536 MaxOutstandingR2T 8 DataSequenceInOrder Yes DataDigest CRC32C,None DefaultTime2Wait 2 MaxConnections 1 DefaultTime2Retain 20 ErrorRecoveryLevel 0 Wthreads 8 - Do u know how it can be achieved?i.e.Basically how to export regular files from target? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.

This is really a IET list questions, but since for once I might know the asnwer here is what I do: Lun 0 Path=/home/mnc/iet_lun0,Type=fileio In this case iet_lun0 is just a normal old file on the target that I created by doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/mnc/iet_lun0 bs=1G count=10 so the lu that is exported ends up being about 10 gigs. If this is not what you wanted then you should probably post to the IET list. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
