yum install iscsi-initiator-utils
vi /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
vi /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
# In particular, if using authentication:
node.session.auth.username = ISCSI_USER_NAMEnode.session.auth.password = Password
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = ISCSI_USER_NAME
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = Password
chkconfig iscsi on
service iscsi start
iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal
or
iscsiadm --mode node --targetname --portal :3260 --login
service iscsi restart
chkconfig iscsid on
service iscsid start
Now the device nodes should be present
fdisk, do whatever, and in /etc/fstab, your entry should look something like this:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/foo ext3 _netdev 0 0
Note that if you want to use lvm, you should ensure that the iscsi devices are on separate volume groups from your root and system filesystems; else, the system may be non-bootable if the iSCSI targets cannot be reached.
