ISCSI Server Configuration

1. ISCSI Server Configuration
ISCSI Server is a storage server. Using this we can share the Storage disks.
ISCSI target (server)
Storage resource located on an iSCSI server known as a "target". An iSCSI target usually
represents nothing but hard disk storage. As with initiators, software to provide an iSCSI target is
available for most mainstream operating systems.
SCSI initiator (client)
An initiator functions as an iSCSI client. 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.
