Linux target framework (tgt) aims to simplify various SCSI target driver (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, etc) creation and maintenance. The key goals are the clean integration into the scsi-mid layer and implementing a great portion of tgt in user space.

The developer of IET is also helping to develop Linux SCSI target framework (stgt) which looks like it might lead to an iSCSI target implementation with an upstream kernel component. iSCSI Target can be useful:

a] To setup stateless server / client (used in diskless setups).
b] Share disks and tape drives with remote client over LAN, Wan or the Internet.
c] Setup SAN - Storage array.
d] To setup loadbalanced webcluser using cluster aware Linux file system etc.

In this tutorial you will learn how to have a fully functional Linux iSCSI SAN using tgt framework.

iSCSI target (server)

Storage resource located on an iSCSI server known as a "target". An iSCSI target usually represents nothing but hard disk storage. As with initiators, software to provide an iSCSI target is available for most mainstream operating systems.

iSCSI initiator (client)

An initiator functions as an iSCSI client. An initiator typically serves the same purpose to a computer as a SCSI bus adapter would, except that instead of physically cabling SCSI devices (like hard drives and tape changers), an iSCSI initiator sends SCSI commands over an IP network.

Debian / Ubuntu Linux Install tgt

Type the following command to install Linux target framework user-space tools:
$ sudo apt-get install tgt

CentOS / RHEL / Red Hat Linux Install tgt

RHEL 5.2 and older version do not have tgt tools. However, RHEL 5.3 (preview version) comes with tgt tools.

tgtadm - Linux SCSI Target Administration Utility

tgtadm is used to monitor and modify everything about Linux SCSI target software: targets, volumes, etc. This tool allows a system to serve block-level SCSI storage to other systems that have a SCSI initiator. This capability is being initially deployed as a Linux iSCSI target, serving storage over a network to any iSCSI initiator.

Start tgtd

To start the tgtd, enter:
# /usr/sbin/tgtd
Under RHEL 5.3 to start the tgtd service, enter:
# /etc/init.d/tgtd start

Define an iscsi target name

The following example creates a target with id 1 (the iqn is 19 iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.amiens.sys1.xyz) and adds a 20 logical unit (backed by /dev/hdc1) with lun 1.
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.amiens.sys1.xyz

To view the current configuration, enter:
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target
Sample output:

Target 1: iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk1.amiens.sys1.xyz
System information:
Driver: iscsi
Status: running
I_T nexus information:
LUN information:
LUN: 0
Type: controller
SCSI ID: deadbeaf1:0
SCSI SN: beaf10
Size: 0
Online: No
Poweron/Reset: Yes
Removable media: No
Backing store: No backing store
Account information:
ACL information:

Add a logical unit to the target (/dev/sdb1):
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /dev/sdb1

A note about home computer / test system

Most production boxes will only use iSCSI root with real iSCSI devices, but for testing purposes it can be quite useful to set up an iSCSI target on your image server. This is useful for testing and learning iSCSI target and iSCSI initiator at home, simply use filesystem for testing purpose. Use dd command to create diskbased filesystem:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/fs.iscsi.disk bs=1M count=512
Add /fs.iscsi.disk as a logical unit to the target:
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /fs.iscsi.disk
Now, you should able to view details:
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target
Sample output:

Target 1: iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk1.amiens.sys1.xyz
System information:
Driver: iscsi
Status: running
I_T nexus information:
LUN information:
LUN: 0
Type: controller
SCSI ID: deadbeaf1:0
SCSI SN: beaf10
Size: 0
Online: No
Poweron/Reset: Yes
Removable media: No
Backing store: No backing store
LUN: 1
Type: disk
SCSI ID: deadbeaf1:1
SCSI SN: beaf11
Size: 512M
Online: Yes
Poweron/Reset: Yes
Removable media: No
Backing store: /fs.iscsi.disk
Account information:
ACL information:
A Note About Selinux

Renout Gerrits adds - On RHEL and friends you will run into problems if selinux is enabled if using files. While adding a logicalunit to a target you will get the error: 'tgtadm: invalid request'. A bit of a misguiding error. fixed by setting the correct context:
# semanage fcontext -a -t tgtd_var_lib_t /fs.iscsi.disk
# restorecon -Rv /fs.iscsi.disk

Accept iSCSI Target

To enable the target to accept any initiators, enter:
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op bind --mode target --tid 1 -I ALL
This should open network port # 3260:
# netstat -tulpn | grep 3260
Sample output:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3260            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      27328/tgtd
tcp6 0 0 :::3260 :::* LISTEN 27328/tgtd

And you are done. Your system is configured as iSCSI Target. Remote client computer can access this computers hard disk over network. Your can use cluster aware filesystem to setup real shared storage for small business. Open TCP port 3260 in your firewall, if required.

How do I access iSCSI Target (server) via iSCSI initiator (client)?

See detailed os specific iSCSI initiator instuctions:

  1. RHEL 4 or RHEL 5 Linux iSCSI initiator tutorial.
  2. Debian Linux iSCSI initiator tutorial.
  3. FreeBSD iSCSI initiator tutorial.
  4. Windows iSCSI initiator tutorial.

Following is a quick way to access iSCSI target, under RHEL 5. Let us say your server iSCSI Target IP is 192.168.1.2. Type the following command to discover targets at a given IP address such as 192.168.1.2 (use 127.0.0.1 if you are testing it from same computer):
# iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.1.2
OR
# iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 127.0.0.1
Sample output:

127.0.0.1:3260,1 iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk1.amiens.sys1.xyz

Login to the iscsi target session:
# iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk1.amiens.sys1.xyz --portal 192.168.1.2:3260 --login
OR
# iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk1.amiens.sys1.xyz --portal 127.0.0.1:3260 --login
Verify that login was successful:
# tail -f /var/log/messages
Sample output:

sdc is new scsi disk. You may need to restart iSCSI to probe partition and check disks:
# service iscsi restart
# partprobe
# fdisk -l

You can now create parition and mount file system using usual fdisk and mkfs.ext3 commands:
# fdisk /dev/sdc
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1mkdir /iscsi
# mkdir /iscsi
# mount /dev/sdc1 /iscsi
# df -H

Debian / Ubuntu Linux Connect to an iSCSI Volume

Q. How do I format and connect to an iSCSI Volume under Debian / Ubuntu Linux?

A. You need to install open-iscsi package for high performance, transport independent iSCSI implementation under Debian / Ubuntu Linux. This package is also known as the Linux Open-iSCSI Initiator. You need Linux operating system with kernel version 2.6.16, or later. See REHL 5 / CentOS 5 / Fedora Linux specific instructions here.

Install Open-iSCSI Initiator

Type the following command at a shell prompt:
$ sudo apt-get install open-iscsi

Open-iSCSI default configuration

You need to soft-link (path fix) few two files to autologin work i.e. fix file paths for iscsiadm, enter:
ln -s /etc/{iscsid.conf,initiatorname.iscsi} /etc/iscsi/
Default configuration file could be located at /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf or ~/.iscsid.conf. Open /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file:
# vi /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
Set node.session.auth.username, node.session.auth.password and other parameter as follows:
node.startup = automatic
node.session.auth.username = MY-ISCSI-USER
node.session.auth.password = MY-ISCSI-PASSWORD
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = MY-ISCSI-USER
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = MY-ISCSI-PASSWORD
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 120
node.conn[0].timeo.login_timeout = 15
node.conn[0].timeo.logout_timeout = 15
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 10
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 15
node.session.iscsi.InitialR2T = No
node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = Yes
node.session.iscsi.FirstBurstLength = 262144
node.session.iscsi.MaxBurstLength = 16776192
node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 65536

Save and close the file. Restart open-iscsi service:
# /etc/init.d/open-iscsi restart
Now you need to run a discovery against the iscsi target host:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p ISCSI-SERVER-IP-ADDRESS
If 192.168.1.60 is iSCSI server IP address, enter:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.1.60
OR
# iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.1.60
Note down the record id (such as iqn.2001-05.com.doe:test) found by the discovery. You need the same for login. Login, must use a node record id found by the discovery:
# iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2001-05.com.doe:test --portal 192.168.1.60:3260 --login
Finally restart the service again:
# /etc/init.d/open-iscsi restart

Format iSCSI Volume

Now you should see an additional drive on the system such as /dev/sdc. Use /var/log/messages file to find out device name:
# tail -f /var/log/messages
If your device name is /dev/sdc, enter the following command to create a partition:
# fdisk /dev/sdc
Next format partition:
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
Mount file system:
# mkdir /iscsi
# mount /dev/sdc1 /iscsi
