Installing the ISCSI server on Fedora 14/Amahi 6
Warning Dragons Ahead !!!!! This HOWTO is for advanced users Your HDA might self-destruct in a million pieces and you might loose Data in the event that you brick your HDA
Installing the ISCSI server
Log into your amahi box via ssh and become root
NOTE: As i have experienced myself it is a good idea to check if your updates are all done correctly . do this by Typing
bash code |
---|
yum update
|
Let amahi update whatever is necessary to avoid a kernel module error trying to start the ISCSI server.
Then install kernel headers and gcc
bash code |
---|
yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc
|
Now we going to download the install script i wrote
bash code |
---|
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57179706/iscsi/install.sh
|
Then run
bash code |
---|
sh ./install.sh
|
This should have now compiled and installed the ISCSI server on your Amahi box.
Configuration and creation of an ISCSI disk image
The easiest way to get an ISCSI target is to create an image file.
We are doing this by typing :
bash code |
---|
mkdir /var/hda/files/iscsi dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/hda/files/iscsi/disk.img bs=1M count=0 seek=256000
|
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.
Now if we look in /var/hda/files/iscsi/ we will find a file called disk.img
Configuring the ISCSI server to serve your disk image
We have to edit the config file in /etc/iet/ietd.conf (use your favorite editor)
Leave everything as it is exept at the bottom we add
bash code |
---|
Target iqn.2012-02.com.domain:disk.img Lun 0 Path=/var/hda/files/iscsi/disk.img,Type=fileio
|
Save and exit your editor
Start/restart your ISCSI server
bash code |
---|
service iscsi-target restart
|
done
