Yes, iSCSI is fairly well known.

You don't say what version/distro of Linux you're using....several distros like OpenSuSE and Centos, have GUI based tools to help you with it. And a quick Google for "linux iscsi howto", turns up over 15,000 hits:

On typing the foll command
echo "open vdisk1 /tmp/vdisk1"> /proc/scsi_tgt/vdisk/vdisk
I am getting the foll error message
bash: echo: write error: Invalid arguement
What does this mean??
