Install Ubuntu LTS 10.04 server on a iscsi root
 

Hi all,

Somebody have tried to install Ubuntu LTS Server on a iSCSI disk?? I need to
install it on an iSCSI Solaris's target. Where can I found docs about this?? I
didn't find anything on wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com.

Thanks.

There's an optional testcase on:
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServeriSCSIRoot

Please, read also how to setup KVM with PXE and DHCP
for your iSCSI target.

BTW, i'm running root iSCSI targets on a Sun Storage 7410.

no, you just need to select "Configure iSCSI volumes" during
installation, as described in the testcase mentioned above.

What exactly didn't work for you? Error message?

Oops .. Sorry I didn't see it. Ok, I can configure an IP for iscsi target, but I
can't configure iscsi initiator. If I can't configure iscsi client name, I can't
login to iscsi target because if is configured with ACLs based on iscsi name. How
can I configure iscsi initiatorname??

Thanks.

Assuming you have a Sun Storage 7000 series iSCSI target, please note
that default ubuntu installation will create a random iSCSI initiator name.
In order to grant access to the iSCSI target during installation, we add it
to the iSCSI target group named "default" (with no ACL).

After the installation is finished, we change the initiator name in several
places (/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi, /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs), update
initramfs and move the iSCSI target to an initiator group with ACL.

On the other hand, we haven't managed to grant access to iSCSI targets
through username and password yet. So we're using a private network,
our own random initiator names and an initiator group with ACL for each
initiator name.

Hope that helps!

Many thanks Alex. I have disabled ACL (and I have enabled after installation) under
iscsi target solaris config and now it works.
