 Set up an iSCSI server on the Amahi box. You can install it using yum. Note that all actions must be done as user root.

 Set up 1 Logical Volume (LV) that will be exported as an iSCSI LUN. The below output shows my LV created for time machine (hence the name lvtime).

 The name convention for iSCSI LUNs is usually as follows but a vendor can change it at will, it's a convention not a requirement.

 scan for new LUNs:

 login and make the connection persistent

 You can name the disk.img whatever you want and the numbers behind seek is the size of the image disk which in our case is 250 gigs.

 For ease of use I have created a repository which can easily be added.  Download the repo file located at:
-{{Code|
   Code= http://amahirepo.3owl.com/repofile/

 Download rpmorama.repo (right click and save as)
 Copy that file to
-{{Text|Text=/etc/yum.repos.d/}}

 Run
-{{Code|

 Then you can install the iscsi server by typing
-{{Code|

 You still have to create the disk and edit the iet.conf file
