In computing, iSCSI is an acronym for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface, an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. It provides block-level access to storage devices by carrying SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network. iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. It can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
The protocol allows clients (called initiators) to send SCSI commands (CDBs) to storage devices (targets) on remote servers. It is a storage area network (SAN) protocol, allowing organizations to consolidate storage into storage arrays while providing clients (such as database and web servers) with the illusion of locally attached SCSI disks. It mainly competes with Fibre Channel, but unlike traditional Fibre Channel which usually requires dedicated cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network infrastructure.
Let wel: Jy mag vind dat wanneer jou teikens ontdek word, hulle onder 'n ander IP-adres gelys word. Dit gebeur dikwels as die iSCSI-diens blootgestel word via NAT of 'n virtuele IP. In sulke gevalle sal iscsiadmin misluk om te verbind. Dit vereis twee aanpassings: een aan die katalogusnaam van die node wat outomaties deur jou ontdekkingaktiwiteite geskep is, en een aan die default lêer wat in hierdie katalogus bevat is.
Byvoorbeeld, jy probeer om te verbind met 'n iSCSI-teiken op 123.123.123.123 op poort 3260. Die bediener wat die iSCSI-teiken blootstel, is eintlik op 192.168.1.2 maar blootgestel via NAT. isciadm sal die interne adres registreer eerder as die publieke adres:
Binnen die gids is daar 'n standaardlêer met al die instellings wat nodig is om met die teiken te verbind.

Dit kan gedoen word met 'n opdrag soos sed -i 's/192.168.1.2/123.123.123.123/g' /etc/iscsi/nodes/iqn.1992-05.com.emc:fl1001433000190000-3-vnxe/123.123.123.123\,3260\,1/default
Jy kan nou die teiken monteer volgens die instruksies in die skakel.
Note dat dit die IP en poort van die interfaces sal wys waar jy die teikens kan bereik. Dit kan selfs interne IP's of verskillende IP's van die een wat jy gebruik het, wys.
Dan vang jy die 2de deel van die gedrukte string van elke lyn (iqn.1992-05.com.emc:fl1001433000190000-3-vnxe van die eerste lyn) en probeer om in te log:
