Server :: RHEL5 ISCSI Not Creating New Block Device In /dev

Jul 9, 2010

I am running RHEL5.5 its a fresh install and we are testing Xen Virtualization. We are wanting to use our iSCSI SAN for the VMs. I have created the initiator iqn, and discovered the target address. We are connected to the target, but there is no new block device in /dev.

[root@xxxxxxxx etc]# netstat -a | grep iscsi
tcp 0 0 *:iscsi-target *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 xxxxx-netapp.okc-:44840 xxxxxx-iscs:iscsi-target ESTABLISHED

Server :: Resizing An ISCSI Device

Jul 19, 2010

I'm trying to increase the size of an iSCSI device. On the LUN side, the provision size has been expanded already. I expanded the size of this device from 15GB to 30GB.

I then rescanned the devices:

[root@ps-dev-nfs ~]# iscsiadm -m node --targetname iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-db7938c02-c6a994bda8a4a773-ps-dev-nfs -R
Rescanning session [sid: 1, target: iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-db7938c02-c6a994bda8a4a773-ps-dev-nfs, portal: 10.3.2.10,3260]

How to connect disks from iSCSI array and from SAN network. I found that it is possible to establish iSCSI on solaris by using COMSTAR [url]

Questions: Could you give me some tutorial how to do this ? I don't have of course SAN network in my home lab and iSCSI array too, is there some way I can simulate this on VBOX or VMWARE ?

Ubuntu :: ISCSI Login But No Device Nodes?

Aug 17, 2010

I'm running 10.04 64-bit diskless on ESXi, installed as a minimal virtual machine. I want this server to access an iSCSI drive. The machine can view the iSCSI shares with iscsiadm, and can even log into the drive. When I do an iSCSI login, this appears in /var/log/messages:

Aug 17 11:08:21 ubuntutest kernel: [1123295.329972] scsi4 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP

So, it appears that open-iSCSI is working correctly. But no new /dev/sd* nodes appear, and nothing new appears in /dev/disk/by-path. I'd expect to see /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XXXXXXXXX. fdisk -l shows nothing but the boot drive. My guess is that the "minimal kernel" doesn't include some necessary module or driver.

Server :: Creating Alias Or CNAME Record For Each Network Device

Oct 28, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 to provide DHCP and Internet Sharing on my home LAN. In a previous configuration, I was running Fedora + AMAHI to provide the same services. As most of my linux devices are Ubuntu, I decided to decommission and rebuild my server. I've been able to configure all of my services with the exception of one. As a rule, I assign static IP or reservations based on MAC address's for any of my network devices or appliances.

One cool feature that AMAHI provided a GUI for, was the ability to recognize devices by name as well as IP. i.e.. "http://192.168.1.50" or "http://home-NAS" Going from memory, the long name upon first entry may actually have been "http://home-NAS.adomainname.com"? From my reading, I think I either need to setup up a Static Alias or CNAME for each assigned IP. I can't find any tutorial's that will walk me through this process. I'm guessing I need to generate the records under one of the master DNS zones, but that is just a guess?

CentOS 5 :: Persistent Device Names For ISCSI Disks?

Nov 15, 2010

I have a server wich is connected to an iSCSI storage and gets harddisks from this storage. Sometimes I have to add new disks to this server. Everytime I add a disk and make an /etc/init.d/iscsi restart on the server the disks don't have the same device name as before the iscsi restart.

It should be possible to gave the disks persistent names using udev rules. Now I tried to create different rules in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-static-iscsi-names.rules" e.g.

# /dev/sdc
KERNEL=="sd*", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -s %p",RESULT=="360a98000503355344c4a576864467877" NAME=="sdc%n"
In "/etc/rc.local" I added "/sbin/start_udev" and in "/etc/scsi_id.config" I added the line "vendor="NETAPP",model="LUN",options=-g"

Security :: Creating A Secure RHEL5 Image

Aug 10, 2009

I am working to create a new base image for our RHEL5 setups, and I wanted to make sure we are creating a functional, but secure, image. Can anyone point me to some writeup's that might provide some illumination on this potentially daunting task? Basically, I'm concerned about what packages are okay, which should be avoided, and what other caveats that I might not think of when putting this together.

Debian Configuration :: ISCSI Connection - Attach To The ISCSI LUN

Jun 24, 2010

I have never done this before but stood up a new Debian (testing) x64 system. It only has 146GB available for RAID1 so I created a 500GB iSCSI LUN on my NAS device on the network and am really confused how I can attach my Debian to the iSCSI LUN I created. Right now the OS is installed all locally on the machine but I would like the iSCSI LUN to be the /home directory for mail storage. Is this possible or do I need to mount the LUN to a newly created folder / mount point that is locally attached?

General :: Fake Block Device For Testing LVM?

Jun 1, 2010

I want to test LVM+Raid. When I was testing ZFS on Solaris, I was able to create regular files, and use those as disks for testing.I tried creating a regular file full of zeros w/ dd, then partitioning that. fdisk seemed to be able to create a partition on the regular file, but mkfs and parted couldn't work with it. Is there any way to create fake block devices for testing?

Programming :: C Program - Getting The Raw Size Of A Block Device

Oct 16, 2010

How do you go about getting the raw size of a block device under Linux from within a C program? And I mean the raw size of the block device itself, not a file system that may or may not be installed on it. And I'd like to be able to get the raw size of any block device, from hard drives (e.g., /dev/sda) to LVM partitions (/dev/mapper/vg0-home) to loop devices to anything else that is a Linux block device.

Server :: Network Storage - CIFS / RAID Or ISCSI

Jul 7, 2011

I am interested in turning my home server into something that I can store backups on. I do photography and therefore have a lot of photos. I use Mac OS X for my photo editing, so it must be accessible from my Macbook. I am new when it comes network storage servers, so what would be the best solution for me to be able to backup my photos seamlessly? I would like it easy enough so others can backup files without any terminal commands and such. What would you suggest? CIFS? RAID? iSCSI?

CentOS 5 Server :: Create GFS Shared Storage Without SAN/iSCSI

Sep 3, 2009

I built a CentOS 5 Linux cluster with GFS storage using local RAID volume and share it with gnbd_export/import on two web-servers. Now I need to expand that storage to another servers local volume. I saw the picture in the manual, but I don`t know, how can I create that scheme.

I can use gnbd_export on the second server and gnbd_import on the first. In that case I will have two volumes on the first storage and I can expand volume group, logical volume, etc on it.

Programming :: Send Block Device Name To Bash Variable?

Feb 13, 2009

I'm setting up a machine that's going to be used to test randomly connected tape drives one at a time, and as such, I'm writing the test routine using mt in a bash script, for user-friendliness. The problem is the block device name changes on occasion as tape drives are swapped out and busses are rescanned, so I can't "hard code" a block name into the script.

I know programs like lsscsi and hwinfo will give you block device names as part of their output, but I can't seem to grep anything in such a way as to have the final output be just the block name (ie /dev/st2, or optimally 'st2'), so that I can just have the script read said output, and drop it into the necessary variable.

Hardware :: Block Device Names Change After Reboot

Jan 19, 2011

I built a Raid5 volume with 3 SATA II hard disk drives. Further I have a system disk conected through IDE. During the first setup the IDE disk becomes sda, the SATA II disk sd[bcd] respectively. Now, sometimes the device names change after reboot - why ever... E.g. one of the raid5 disk become sda and so I got an error message during the boot procedure regarding the raid set. Curious, when the system is up and I stop and restart the Raid5 volume it comes up and runs fine. Because I'm currently at work I can't post any more detailed config files at the moment.

General :: Handle Bad Block In Mass Storage Device?

Nov 2, 2009

* I am implementing mass storage device on a test board.

* It contains NAND flash.

* Using corresponding "udc driver" and "g_file_storage" I could make my test board enumerate as mass storage device on my Linux machine.

* my 16 MB pen drive (test board) is now ready for read/write.

But there are some Bad Blocks on the NAND.Hence copy is not complete. Although on Linux machine there is no error message. Now , what is there in a normal pen drive which manages the Bad Block or what am I missing so that such Bad Blocks are managed.

Here is the error I get on my test board :

mtdblock: erase of region [0x2c0000, 0x4000] on "Bon 2" failed
end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock2, sector 5664

Programming :: Block On Write Call To TtyACM Device

Nov 1, 2010

I have a write call to a ttyACM serial device that blocks after several hundreds bytes are written.I'm writing in ~25 byte chunks, so I have 5-8 successful writes, then the next write blocks forever.I can bypass the blocked call using select, but I can never call write again without closing and re-opening the port.

The serial port is opened correctly because I can read from it just fine. Write permissions are correct, and it's opened RW.The code is likely correct because I tested the same code using the same device on a pure RS-232 serial port, and it worked fine - no block. Is there anything to know about the linux ACM module?It's my understanding that write calls basically shouldn't block.They're supposed to return -1 if there's an error.

Server :: ISCSI Failing At Reboot To Detect Mapped Volume

Sep 28, 2010

I am trying to connect the one of server RHEL5.4 to the IBM iSCSI storage. Server is equipped with 2 single port Qlogic iSCSI HBA(TOE). RHEL detected the HBA and installed driver itself (qla3XXX). I have configured the HBA ip address in the range of iSCSI host port of storage. Both of the HBA is connecting to the two different controller of storage. I have discovered the storage using command iscsiadm -m discovery command for both of the controller and it went through fine. But problem is whenever server is restarting if both of the hba is connected to the storage then server will not detect the volumes which is mapped to the server and then to detect the volume I need to run "mppBusRescan" and "vgscan" command each time. If only one path is connected it is fine.
