iSCSI is an IETF standard (RFC 3720) for remote access to block-level
|
|
storage. It can be thought of as similar to NFS, except that an NFS
|
|
server exports files; the iSCSI target exports blocks to the iSCSI
|
|
initiators, which are the clients.
|
|
|
|
To set up the target, you need to edit the /etc/iscsi/targets file.
|
|
It has a certain layout, to provide a means of (a) mirroring and (b)
|
|
combining multiple areas to present one large contiguous area of
|
|
storage. This can be multiply-layered.
