iSCSI Network Setup for Linux
(Ubuntu/Debian)
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a widely used protocol for controlling direct-attached storage
devices. Internet SCSI (iSCSI) uses the SCSI protocol on network volumes. iSCSI works on top of the
Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and allows SCSI commands to be sent through a local area network (LAN),
wide area network (WAN), or the internet.
Requirements
Network Components
Your iSCSI network requires four components:
Data network—iSCSI requires an IP-based network for data transport between systems with initiators
(servers) and targets (storage volumes or arrays).
Management network—To configure the applicable iSCSI ports on Lyve Mobile Rackmount Receiver, a
Windows or Mac computer installed with the Lyve Client Software app must be able to access the
same management network connected to an Ethernet management port on the back of Rackmount
Receiver. Make sure to use the Ethernet management port for the slot in which the Lyve Mobile Array
device is inserted.
iSCSI target—The target is a storage volume or array connected to the network. In the following
instructions, the iSCSI target is a volume in a Lyve Mobile Array inserted in a Lyve Mobile Rackmount
Receiver.
iSCSI initiator—The initiator is the software component residing on a server that is configured to
connect to an iSCSI target. By using an iSCSI initiator, target volumes can be mounted on a server as if
they were local volumes.
IP addresses
Assign or obtain the following:
IP addresses for the Linux station’s Ethernet data ports.
The Lyve Client Software app (available for Windows and macOS operating systems) is
required to unlock Lyve Mobile Array devices. A Windows PC or Mac must have access to
the management network connected to Lyve Mobile Rackmount Receiver's Ethernet
management port.
