similar to: FYI: Notes on setting up KVM guests using iSCSI

"Playing" with a NAS capable of iscsi ... trying to make use of it within the virtual machine manager. Could someone point me at or provide me an example/screenshot of adding iscsi to my KVM-host? I think I still don't get it. Should I add an iscsi-LUN as a storage-pool? Or as single disk to a VM? Could someone pls point me at some docs to make me understand? Thanks a lot,

Hi all, I would like to know if I could share some space on on of my servers, to another server(s) using the iSCSI protocal? I can see that CentOS can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server? Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to set it up? I'm running CentOS 5.2 -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

I always used IET on CentOS but I have a quick server to setup to backup some VM's, then migrate to DAS on another server and the easiest way for me will be to accomplish this via iSCSI vmfs stores. I figured I would just use the ini that ships with CentOS but have never used it against ESX, anyone do this and have experiences they care to share? Should it be trivial or are there any non

Hello, let me describe my setup. Source server is debian wheezy, rsync 3.0.9 Destination is qnap TS-410, with rsyncd enabled, rsync 3.0.7 I'm trying to rsync two files, which are exported from source server as iscsi targets (windows iscsi backups). Files are on btrfs, so I use snapshots during rsync, so files don't change. One file is 50GB, second is 550GB in size. Initial sync over

Out of haste I decided for the first time not to pull down and compile iet to export a single volume to a windows machine so I just used tgtd. Well, much more time later than otherwise would be the case had I used iet, when I mount the volume on the windows ini, it can't find and install a driver? WTF? This have anything to do with the tgtd being a tech preview:) Anybody seen this b4? jlc

I've configured a libvirt storage pool using an iscsi target from a Sun 7310 storage appliance and am using the LUNs in this target as volumes for my KVM guests. The setup is very similar to what Daniel covered in a recent blog posting: http://berrange.com/posts/2010/05/05/provisioning-kvm-virtual-machines-on-iscsi-the-hard-way-part-2-of-2/ It works great, but I can't figure out how

Hi, I'm using libvirt 0.8.3 on Fedora 14 (as I wrote earlier, I'm having some trouble updating to the newest version), and I'm having problems getting iscsi and mpath storage pools to work in a usable and consistent manner. I have two storage pools defined on the host machine, one for raw iscsi- devices and one for those same iscsi devices device-mapped by multipath. They look

Hi, Is it possible to discover iSCSI targets using libvirt API..? OR is it possible to get the similar results of below commands using libvirtAPI..? iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal server1.example.com sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.0.10 Regards Sijo

Hello, As we know, libvirt sanlock support file type storage. I wonder *if it supports network storage.* I tried *iSCSI*, but found it didn't generate any resource file: Version: *qemu-2.10 libvirt-3.9 sanlock-3.5* 1. Set configuration: qemu.conf: *lock_manager = "sanlock"* qemu-sanlock.conf: *auto_disk_leases = 1disk_lease_dir = "/var/lib/libvirt/sanlock"host_id =

Changeset 10742:3e07ec30c445 made it possible to switch to the QEMU monitor terminal when using the VNC display protocol. Unfortunately the VNC key handling is rather crazy, so even if you have the shift key pressed, a VNC client will send a lowercase letter, expecting the server to interpret the state of the shift key as desired. Normally in HVM guests, the guest OS does this interpretation

Hi, i have a debian Etch x86_64 with a xen 3.1 on a kernel 2.6.18-xen. I have some DomU with Debian Etch. I installed open-iscsi, configure /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf: --- node.active_cnx = 1 node.startup = automatic #node.session.auth.username = dima #node.session.auth.password = aloha node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 120 node.session.err_timeo.abort_timeout = 10

Hi all, I have the strangest problem on one of our backup server. iscsi doesn't start at all, and gives the following error: [root at 2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi status iscsid is stopped [root at 2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi start iscsid is stopped Starting iSCSI daemon: Unable to create pid file: /var/run/brcm_iscsiuio.pid [FAILED] Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records

I just updated one of my virtual hosts to 5.6 and on rebooted I spotted an error about iscsi. Which surprised me, since I don't use iscsi. Yet there it is... % rpm -qf /etc/init.d/iscsi iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-6.el5 And they're configured to start iscsi 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iscsid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Former user of Xen and newbie in kvm/qemu/libvirt stuff, I give it a try on my network ;-) I need to run a VM with iSCSI target attached.

Hello, I have been using Xen now for several months and have been quite successful until attempting to utilize iscsi within my domU''s. My research has turned up many posts of people using iscsi with no problems, and I have found no others with the problem I seem to be experiencing. If this has been covered on this list in the past, please accept my humble apologies. Configuration:

Hi, I want to take snapshots of a iSCSI devices from a target that hasn't snapshot/cloning capabilities (it's a Infortrend A16E storage array). What method are you using to make snapshots/clones of iSCSI targets using Open-iSCSI + CentOS? What about using Open-iSCSI + LVM snapshots system? For example: - Take a LVM snapshot in the initiator with "lvcreate". - Give read-only

This enables the ability to take the ovirt-node-image iso and deploy it to an iscsi disk. It also provides a sample pxe configuration for booting based on the iscsi root device.

We currently have a MD3000i with an iSCSI LUN shared out to our apache web server. We are going to add another apache web server into the mix using LVS to load balance, however, I am curious how well iSCSI handles file locking and data integrity. I have the iSCSI partition formatted as ext3. Is my setup totally flawed and will ext3 not allow for data integrity with multiple apache hosts
