RHEL 6
1. DAS(Direct?attached storage)
Its a retronym, principally wont to differentiate non?networked storage from SAN and
NAS
Between those 2 points theres no network device (like hub, switch, or router), and this is
often the most characteristic of DAS.
the most protocols used for DAS connections are ATA, SATA, eSATA SCSI, SAS, and
Fibre Channel.
3. SAN(Storage?Area?Network)
A Storage Area Network (SAN) could be a dedicated network that has access to
consolidated, block level information storage.
SANs are primarily wont to build storage devices, like disk arrays, tape libraries, and
optical jukeboxes, accessible to servers in order that the devices appear as if regionally
connected devices to the package.
A SAN generally has its own network of storage devices that square measure typically
not accessible through the native space network by different devices. the price and quality
of SANs born within the early 2000s to levels permitting wider adoption across each
enterprise and tiny to medium sized business environments.
Features of SAN
Adds flexibility since cables and storage devices dont ought to be physically stirred to
shift storage from one server to a different
As with initiators, software to provide an iSCSI target is available for most mainstream
operating systems.
An initiator typically serves the same purpose to a computer as a SCSI bus adapter
would, except that instead of physically cabling SCSI devices (like hard drives and tape
changers), an iSCSI initiator sends SCSI commands over an IP network.
SAN Server Installation and Configuration on RHEL/ CentOS/ Scientific Linux/ Oracle
Linux 7/6/5
Step-I(Install the iscsi pkgs & start services)
# yum install *scsi*
# service tgtd start
Step-II(creates a target with id 1)
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 T iqn.201109.com.galaxy:storage.disk1.linux.sys1.xyz
Step-III(To view the current configuration)
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target
Step-IV(Add a logical unit to Target)
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1--lun 1 -b /dev/sdb1
Step-V(To view the details)
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target
Step-VI(To enable the target to accept any initiators)
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op bind --mode target --tid 1 -I ALL
Congratulation now you have Installed SAN Storage Server & Configure on
CentOS/RHEL 7/6/5 and any difficulties regarding to this use comment section below
