ISCSI

ISCSI

[Guy]

I have a SCSI tape drive on my Linux system.  I want to use the tape drive
from another system with another (evil) OS.  I have found more than 1 source
forge project related to ISCSI.  These projects seem to only talk about disk
access (SAN), not tape access.  I can't determine which I should use, if
any.

Does anyone know which is best?
I have kernel 2.4.28, but would be willing to attempt an upgrade if needed.

Thanks,
Guy

i suggest u to use UNH iSCSI + SCST. it provides a bypass mode which fit
you needs. IET will support a bypass interface later.

RE: ISCSI

[Guy]

As suggested, I am attempting to install UNH iSCSI, but having some
problems.

Readme says:
- The appropriate way to install this package is :
   1. mkdir <name> ; tar -zxf <tarball>
   2. cd <name>/unh_iscsi/src/
   3. ./Configure
   4. make rpm
   5. rpm -ivh  /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/unh_iscsi-1.5-0X.i386.rpm

When I do "make rpm" I get this error:
tar cf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/unh_iscsi.tar  .
tar: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/unh_iscsi.tar: Cannot open: No such file or
directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
make: *** [rpm] Error 2

Are there some prerequisites that are needed?
Or am I just doing something wrong.

Also, could you give me a link to SCST?  Or is this included in UNH iSCSI?

Thanks,
Guy

iSCSI

[Harald Hoyer]

with the new iSCSI module I was able to do the block testcase over iSCSI
that means:

root filesystem on an encrypted LVM PV over ISCSI

I used:
"root=/dev/dracut/root rw 
iscsiroot=192.168.2.2::::iqn.2004-04.com.qnap:TS-439:iSCSI.test.8CCAFA ip=dhcp"

to create the encrypted LVM PV on a iscsi disk and boot from it.

Oh, actually that was a LVM on an encrypted RAID-5 on a iSCSI disk..
