I have configured two iscsi disks on a single Ubuntu 18.04 server as server backup. The iscsi is setup with tgt and open-iscsi. I want to locally access these iscsi disks on the Ubuntu machine (i.e., server 192.168.2.x plus 127.0.0.1) so can copy these backups to an off-site location.
Currently I've configured two targets for each drive (local and server).
It seems iscsi is one-to-one protocol. I want to make the local connection read-only. Is this generally not advisable and likely to cause problems?
I am just trying to avoid having to make multiple logins for the final process of copying the backups.
iscsi is a very good at some things and poor at others. You don't really want to have more than one user connected to a disk at one time. It may be possible to attach it to some system and then use nfs or samba to use concurrent transactions.
