RHCE EX300 exam: Configure an iSCSI target (server) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux --- Our given task is: Configure an iSCSI target. Configure system1 to provide an iSCSI disk device named iqn.2017-04.com.example.domain9:system1 as follows. - The iSCSI service uses port 3260. - The target uses a 3GiB backing logical volume named iscsi_vol - The target is only available to system2.domain9.example.com only. --- On your RHCE exam SELinux must be set to Enforcing mode and firewall must be running. So we will verify SELinux mode with command: getenforce We will check if firewall is running with command: systemctl status firewalld First we have to install targetcli package: yum install -y targetcli We have to enable target service to start automatically after reboot. If we don't enable target service to start automatically – our iSCSI target configuration will be not red after the reboot and all configuration done before reboot won't be effective. So we have to enable target service with command: systemctl enable target It is very important that target service starts automatically so we will double-check it with command: systemctl is-enabled target Now we will start target service with command: systemctl start target. We have to open iSCSI port 3260 so we will add a permanent rule which will be effective after reboot: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3260/tcp To activate this permanent rule in runtime environment we will use command: firewall-cmd --reload We will double-check if port 3260 was opened in current runtime environment with command: firewall-cmd --list-all To create additional partition I will use fdisk command. You can use different disk partitioning tool like parted for example. fdisk /dev/vdb Now we will use our new disk partition vdb6 for a new volume group which we will create using vgcreate command. vgcreate iscsivg /dev/vdb6 We will create requested 3 Gibibytes logical volume iscsi_vol with command: lvcreate -L 3G -n iscsi_vol iscsivg where: -L 3G will set the size of the logical volume to three Gibibytes -n iscsi_vol will set the name of the logical volume to iscsi_vol We will review new logical volume iscsi_vol with command: lvdisplay iscsivg/iscsi_vol Now we are ready to configure iSCSI target. We will use targetcli tool. targetcli cd --go to block under backstores create disk_iscsi_vol /dev/iscsivg/iscsi_vol cd --go to iscsi create iqn.2017-04.com.example.domain9:system1 Default portal listening on all IPs which is portal 0.0.0.0 on port 3260 was created. We will remove this portal later because we want our iSCSI service to listen only on interface with IP address 172.24.9.10 which is on the same network like system2.domain9.example.com server. cd --go to acls under tpg1 which is under iqn.2017-04.com.example.domain9:system1 which is under iscsi create iqn.2017-04.com.example.domain9:system2 cd --go to luns under tpg1 which is under iqn.2017-04.com.example.domain9:system1 which is under iscsi create /backstores/block/disk_iscsi_vol cd --go to portals under tpg1 which is under iqn.2017-04.com.example.domain9:system1 which is under iscsi ls And we will delete default portal 0.0.0.0 3260 because we don't want our iSCSI service to listen on all IP addresses. delete 0.0.0.0 3260 create portal 172.24.9.10 3260 so our iSCSI service will listen only on IP address 172.24.9.10 and port 3260 create 172.24.9.10 3260 cd --go to root to run saveconfig command. saveconfig Exit targetcli tool. exit Double-check time stamp of target configuration file if it was updated with current configuration. ls -l /etc/target/saveconfig.json We will check if iSCSI service is listening on port 3260 with netstat command. To use netstat command we have to first install net-tools package with command: yum install -y net-tools Once net-tools package is installed we will use netstat command to check if iSCSI service is listening on port 3260. netstat -an | grep -w LISTEN On your RHCE exam your systems will be graded after reboot so I recommend to you to reboot your server on your RHCE exam and double-check if target configuration is okay also after reboot.
