iSCSI技术是一种由IBM公司研究开发的，是一个供硬件设备使用的可以在IP协议的上层运行的SCSI指令集，这种指令集合可以实现在IP网络上运行SCSI协议，使其能够在诸如高速千兆以太网上进行路由选择。iSCSI的最大好处是能提供快速的网络环境，虽然其性能和带宽跟光纤网络还有一些差距，但能节省企业约30-40%的成本。
下面我们来看一下在RHEL6.3上如何搭建iscsi-target服务器和客户端如何挂载.
一、服务端操作
服务端版本：
[root@racscsi home]# uname -r
2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
[root@racscsi home]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
安装iscsi server软件包。
用RPM的方式安装。
[root@racscsi home]# rpm -ivh scsi-target-utils-1.0.24-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
warning: scsi-target-utils-1.0.24-2.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: NOKEY
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package scsi-target-utils-1.0.24-2.el6.x86_64 is already installed
用yum命令安装（需自己配置YUM源）
[root@racscsi home]#yum -y install scsi-target-utils
启动服务并且添加到开机自启动。
[root@racscsi home]# /etc/init.d/tgtd start
Starting SCSI target daemon: [ OK ]
[root@racscsi home]# chkconfig tgtd on
使用fdisk命令创建几个分区，或者通过外部存储映射共享分区。
现在这台服务器已划分好/dev/sdb、 /dev/sdc、 /dev/sdd、 /dev/sde、 /dev/sdf、 /dev/sdg 、/dev/sdh、/dev/sdi分区，用于客户端的挂载
下面我们需要编辑配置文件/etc/tgt/targets.conf,并设置下iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN).
[root@racscsi home]#vim /etc/tgt/ targets.conf
在文件末尾添加如下内容
<target iqn.2008-09.com.example:asm> #iqn名字可任意
backing-store /dev/sdb
backing-store /dev/sdc
backing-store /dev/sdd
backing-store /dev/sde
backing-store /dev/sdf
backing-store /dev/sdg
backing-store /dev/sdh
backing-store /dev/sdi
initiator-address 192.168.10.0/24 #限定允许访问的客户端地址段或具体IP
write-cache off #是否开启或关闭快取
</target>
重启服务，使修改后的配置生效。
[root@racscsi home]#/etc/init.d/tgtd restart
确定iscsi server是否成功。如果显示如下说明配置iscsi server已经成功。
[root@racscsi home]# tgt-admin --show

注意：关闭服务端的IPTABLES,以免客户端无法正常访问
二、客户端挂载
客户端需安装的包iscsi-initiator-utils
[root@rac2 home]# rpm -ivh iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-41.el6.x86_64.rpm
warning: iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-41.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: NOKEY
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:iscsi-initiator-utils ########################################### [100%]
用yum命令安装（需自己配置YUM源）
[root@rac2 home]#yum -y install iscsi-initiator-utils
启动服务并且添加到开机启动。
[root@rac2 Desktop]# /etc/init.d/iscsid start
[root@rac2 Desktop]# chkconfig iscsid on
发现服务器端iscsi server的共享分区。
[root@rac2 Desktop]# iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.10.220
192.168.10.220:3260,1 iqn.2008-09.com.example:asm
已发现
登陆到iscsi server共享的分区。
[root@rac2 Desktop]# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2008-09.com.example:asm -p 192.168.10.220 -l
Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2008-09.com.example:asm, portal: 192.168.10.220,3260] (multiple)
Login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2008-09.com.example:asm, portal: 192.168.10.220,3260] successful.
再使用fdisk -l命令查看分区，发现共享出来的分区都已经挂过来了。
[root@rac2 Desktop]# fdisk -l

最后你可以格式化分区，挂载在本地相应目录。如果要实现开机自动挂载，要在fstab文件添加记录。
注意添加_netdev参数，要不你在重启iscsi server后，启动时会报错。
示例： /dev/sdb /crs ext4 default,_netdev 0 0
补充:
如果在服务端/etc/tgt/targets.conf文件配置了用户名密码，比如
<target iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target3>
backing-store /dev/sdb
initiator-address 192.168.10.0/24
incoming grid 123@passwd
write-cacheoff
</target>
则在客户端/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf配置文件
需要添加相应的账号和密码
node.session.auth.username = grid
node.session.auth.password = 123@passwd
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = grid
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = 123@passwd
