now that we have the legal stuff covered , let's get started
Installing the ISCSI server
Log into your amahi box via ssh and become root
then install kernel headers and gcc
yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc
now we going to download the install script i wrote
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57179706/iscsi/install.sh
then run sh ./install.sh
this should have now 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 :
mkdir /var/hda/files/iscsi dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/hda/files/iscsi/disk.img bs=1M count=0 seek=2560000
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
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
service iscsi-target restart
done
