ISCSI Qualified Number
I am trying to configure the ISCSI NAS on my LINUX box. IN the process of configuration, it is asking me to configure the file /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
How do I get the IQN ( ISCSI Qualified Name) ? I googled it out, and all web-sites say the format of IQN, No one is mentioning about how to get the IQN. Following the Format I named IQN in my own way.. then When I started the ISCSI it is giving me error as .. ##################################################################### [root@test58 ~]# service iscsi start iscsid dead but pid file exists Turning off network shutdown. Starting iSCSI daemon: [ OK ] [ OK ] Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records found! [ OK ] ####################################################################### I have configured the /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi as folows ############################################################### [root@test58 ~]# cat /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi InitiatorName=iqn.1994-05.microsoft.com:NAS-Blr ############################################################## Please help me .. in understanding me... where I can get the IQN on my NAS . Note : My NAS is a hp-invent server. Regards Vamsi |
The initiator name is configured on the device serving the physical disk/partition. It should be configurable from the server end if you are using a software initiator.
If you are serving the LUN from another linux box _it_ should have the initiator name configured at /etc/ietd.conf. See my RHEL5 iSCSI howto at this link |
Hi Frndfoe,
Thanks for the information... I will try this and let you know the result Cheers Vamsi |
