Redhat iSCSI Connection Configuration

Making iSCSI connection from Redhat Linux server is easy to implement.

Requirement: iscsi-initiator-utils package has to be installed.
Redhat Server Name: saint
Ethernet MAC Address: 00:12:79:A5:81:6E
Redhat Server iqn Number: iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:saint
iSCSI Server IP: 192.168.1.11
iSCSI Server iqn Number: iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.84177111





Giving Initiator Name as the server name makes easy to distinguish iscsi connections at the server side.
# vi /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
InitiatorName=iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:saint

assign an alias to the ethernet interface.
# iscsiadm -m iface -I intface0 –op=new



Associate interface's MAC address with ethernet interface.
# iscsiadm -m iface -I intface0 –op=update -n iface.hwaddress -v 00:12:79:A5:81:6E



Discover iSCSI server.
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.1.11 -I intface0 -P 1



Make the connection automatic at startup.
# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.84177111 -p 192.168.1.11 -o update -n node.startup -v automatic

Creating Multiple VLANs over Bonding Interfaces with Proper Routing on a Centos Linux Host

In this post, I am going to explain configuring multiple VLANs on a bond interface. First and foremost, I would like to describe the environment and give details of the infrastructure. The server has 4 Ethernet links to a layer 3 switch with names: enp3s0f0, enp3s0f1, enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1 There are two bond interfaces both configured as active-backup bond0, bond1 enp4s0f0 and enp4s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond0. Bond0 is for making ssh connections and management only so corresponding switch ports are not configured in trunk mode. enp3s0f0 and enp3s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond1. Bond1 is for data and corresponding switch ports are configured in trunk mode. Bond0 is the default gateway for the server and has IP address 10.1.10.11 Bond1 has three subinterfaces with VLAN 4, 36, 41. IP addresses are 10.1.3.11, 10.1.35.11, 10.1.40.11 respectively. Proper communication with other servers on the network we should use routing tables. There are three
