Reference:
1) Configuring ISCSI with RHEL, Scientific Linux or CentOS 6
2) Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Configuring iSCSI initiator
Install iSCSI initiator first:
apt-get install open-iscsi
Make the following changes to /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
node.startup = automatic node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP node.session.auth.username = user_name_on_QNAP_for_iSCSI_target node.session.auth.password = user_password_on_QNAP_for_iSCSI_target
Run discovery of available targets, show target's status and login:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p qnap_hostname_here iscsiadm -m node -o show iscsiadm -m node --login
Check that you can see the newly attached SCSI device and check it out with frisk:
cat /proc/partitions fdisk /dev/sdb
When I did the discovery for the first time I forgot to set authmethod, username and password in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
Discovery went through without a problem, but --login failed with:
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (19 - encountered non-retryable iSCSI login failure)
So, I cleaned things up first with:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p qnap_hostname_here -o delete
And run discovery again.
