I can't install and use iscsi initiator and target on ubuntu 8.10, who can help me?

Hello everyone:

I am new to iscsi, and I need to install and use both iscsi initiator and target on my ubuntu system.
The ubuntu system version is 8.10, my gcc/g++ version is 4.1.3. System kernel version is 2.6.27.

The problem is, when I installing open-iscsi with this command:
sudo apt-get install open-iscisi
A error will always occur, it is: "iscsiadm: No records found!", the whole output of this command is as bellow:

Code:

root@zzm-laptop:/home/zzm/iscsitarget-0.4.16# apt-get install open-iscsi

                                                                                                                                                      [ OK ]

I think it is may be the wrong configuration of iscsi targets, but I do not know where the error is. My steps of installing and configuring iscsi target are as bellow:

Code:

# apt-get install iscsitatget   
  (this command run successfully)
# sudo vi /etc/ietf.conf 
  In the configuration file, I made three changes.
  first change: set the isNSServer to local ip, in the file, it is :  
iSNSServer 127.0.0.1
  second change: set the target, in the file, it is:
Target iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz
  third change: changed the line which starts with "Lun" and changed the line to :
Lun 0 Path=/root/test.iso,Type=fileio

Then I restarted the target:
#/etc/init.d/iscsitarget restart
and the output of this command is:
Removing iSCSI enterprise target devices: failed with reason :Connection refused.

So, I changed the command to:
#/etc/init.d/iscsitarget stop
#/etc/init.d/iscsitarget start
and the output of the above command is:
Starting iSCSI enterprise target service: succeeded.

I do not know this is whether shows that the target is well configured and running normally.

I can't make any further step about installing and running iscsi initiator and target on my ubuntu system, please help me, thank you very much!

P.S. Another problem occured: I can't uninstall iscsi target from my computer, the problem is as bellow:

Code:

zzm@zzm-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get remove iscsitarget

您希望继续执行吗？[Y/n]y

dpkg：处理 iscsitarget (--remove)时出错：

在处理时有错误发生：

and sometimes when I execute this command, the system may tell me that a software is crashed! This makes me confuse!

First, you may want to post all of this in English. We can't read what you posted. Second, the message is fairly clear....it's been INSTALLED, but not CONFIGURED yet. It's not magic...you have to set it up.

Well, the message says that startup was successful...which means it's running. The first step in a RESTART command is to stop it...but if it hasn't been STARTED before, that first step will fail...

Again, you need to post this in English. And you're trying to uninstall modules/programs WHILE THEY'RE BEING USED...of course you're going to get errors. Stop iSCSI, then remove it.
