Hi all,
I would like to know if I could share some space on on of my servers, to another server(s) using the iSCSI protocal? I can see that CentOS can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server?
Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to set it up?
I'm running CentOS 5.2
Yes you can , but actually it's still 'techonology preview' as stated in the Upstream Release Notes ... You'll need to install the package scsi-target-utils and configure everything with the tgtadm command : there is no config file that is read by the /etc/rc.d/init.d/tgtd initscripts so you have to write a bash scripts that will be read on startup to do the whole work. If you have already played with iscsi, using tgtadm is not really difficult but i admit also that i'm only using it for tests in labs. Production machines are using FC HBAs ;-) --

Hi Fabian,
Do you have any documentation for me on this? I don't know iSCSI at all - well I haven't used it before myself, but from what I understand it's much better than NFS.
What is FC HBA's ?
