About

This How TO is based on this great article Going Enterprise - setup your FC4 iSCSI target in 5 minutes, and from the article from Plone, iSCSI Enterprise Target v0.4.16 with Fedora.

The differences are that I am using Fedora 9 as the OS, Windows XP and Windows Vista as the Client, and I'm using the latest versions of the iSCSI Target Software.

Server Installation

• First of all, I did a

  yum update

  to be sure that I had the latest version of the software
• Secondly, I downloaded the iSCSI Target, from the trunk. The actual version is not compatible with the latest kernel

  svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/iscsitarget/trunk

• Third, install the kernel-devel package,

  yum install kernel-devel

• Forth, build it

tar -xzf iscsitarget-0.4.16.tar.gz
cd iscsitarget-0.4.16
make
make install

• Fifth, Configuration, edit the file /etc/ietd.conf

Target host.domain.ext:deviceName
     Lun 0 Path=/dev/sdb,Type=fileio

• Sixth, startup

chkconfig --add iscsi-target
service iscsi-target start

Client Installation

• First, install the iSCSI initiator from Microsoft. This is already included in Windows Vista / Windows 2008, you just have to enable it, thru the control panel.
• Second, Configuration
  • Start the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
  • in the discovery tab add the target:defaultPort
  • in the Targets, click on Logon, select the "Automatically restore this connection when the system boots" option, and Ok
  • in the Bound Volumes/Devices tab, click Bind All
• Third, delete the partition, and create a new one, using the Windows Disk Management.

You are done :)
