iSCSI on Boot
This shows how to setup iSCSI on Boot in Linux
Installing iSCSI packages
sudo pacman -S open-iscsi
Enable iSCSI to be used
sudo systemctl enable iscsid.service --now
sudo systemctl enable iscsi.service
Finding iSCSI Targets
sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p <target-ip>
Example Usage:
192.168.1.100:3260,1 iqn.2023-01.com.example:storage.target1
Note: the iqn from the output you will need that!
Discover already discovered targets
sudo iscsiadm -m session
Login to Target
sudo iscsiadm -m node -T <target-iqn> -p <target-ip> --login
Set Auto-Login on Boot
First setup Automatic Discovery of Target
sudo iscsiadm -m node -T <target-iqn> -p <target-ip> --op update -n node.startup -v automatic
Second grab the UUID from blkid
sudo blkid
Third Auto Mount with /etc/fstab
UUID=<UUID from blkid> /mountpoint <ext4/ntfs/btrfs> x-systemd.after=network-online.target,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=90,_netdev 0 0
Remove Auto-Login on Boot
sudo iscsiadm -m node -u
sudo iscsiadm -m node -o delete -T <target_name> -p <ip_address>
Note: Also remove any added entries from /etc/fstab
