Connect dell equallogic storage to linux instance
This document provides instructions for configuring an Ubuntu server as an iSCSI initiator to connect to a Dell Equallogic storage array, mounting the new disk, and restoring data if the disk becomes unmounted or deleted. It describes installing the open-iscsi package, configuring the initiator, discovering the iSCSI target, logging into the target, partitioning and formatting the new disk, mounting it, and adding it to fstab. It also explains how to unmount an infected disk, remove its automatic mount, reboot to restore from a snapshot, rediscover and reconnect to the target, and remount the restored volume.

- 1. Connect Dell EquallogicStorage to Linux Instance iSCSI initiator configure, iSCSI reinitiate when link break and data recovery for Linux instance in Openstack 8/21/2013 A.S.M. Shamsuzzaman Md. Saeed Siddik Dhaka, Bangladesh
- 2. Connect Dell EquallogicStorage to Linux Instance: iSCSI Initiator iSCSI Initiator Install To configure Ubuntu Server as an iSCSI initiator install the open-iscsi package. In a terminal enter: sudo apt-get install open-iscsi iSCSI Initiator Configuration Once the open-iscsi package is installed, edit /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf changing the following: node.startup = automatic You can check which targets are available by using the iscsiadm utility. Enter the following in a terminal: sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.0.10 -m: determines the mode that iscsiadm executes in. -t: specifies the type of discovery. -p: option indicates the target IP address. Change example 192.168.0.10 to the target IP address on your network. If the target is available you should see output similar to the following: 192.168.0.10:3260,1 iqn.1992-05.com.emc:sl7b92030000520000-2 The iqn number and IP address above will vary depending on your hardware. You should now be able to connect to the iSCSI target, and depending on your target setup you may have to enter user credentials. Login to the iSCSI node: sudo iscsiadm -m node --login Check to make sure that the new disk has been detected using dmesg: dmesg | grep sd

- 4. Restore Data ifDeleted or Volume Un- mounted Unmount the infected drive. To unmount the infected drive, identify the drive /dev/sda or /dev/sdb1 etc. In a terminal enter: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 Remove automatic mount technology Comment the line in /etc/fstab to stop mount the iSCSI drive during boot: # /dev/sdb1 /srv ext4 defaults,auto,_netdev 0 0 Storage drive restoring Than reboot the instance. In a terminal type $ sudo reboot Storage drive restoring Set the Storage volume offline and retrieve the volume using selected snapshot. Discover iSCSI target You can check which targets are available by using the iscsiadm utility. Enter the following in a terminal: sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.0.10 If the target is available you should see output similar to the following:
- 5. 192.168.0.10:3260,1 iqn.1992-05.com.emc:sl7b92030000520000-2 The iqnnumber and IP address above will vary depending on your hardware. Login to target You should now be able to connect to the iSCSI target, and depending on your target setup you may have to enter user credentials. Login to the iSCSI node: sudo iscsiadm -m node --login this command should connect to the new drive which is already well partitioned. So you don’t need to moderate it’s partition. Mount the volume Finally mount the volume. In a terminal enter: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 Permanent mount the iSCSI drive during boot Finally, add an entry to /etc/fstab to mount the iSCSI drive during boot: /dev/sdb1 /srv ext4 defaults,auto,_netdev 0 0 It is a good idea to make sure everything is working as expected by rebooting the server.
