Task #1 - Add a volume

1) Login to the PS Series storage array using the PS Group Manager GUI and create a

new volume:

Example settings:

 Volume name = sles1

 Volume size = 40G

 iSCSI Access = 10.10.6.150 (IP Address of the eth2 interface)

 Access Type = set read/write (default)

2) Discover the newly added volume from the server:

# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 10.10.5.7

10.10.5.7:3260,1 iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-

beee66602-27e79218c634bfec-sles1

3) Login to the discovered target, use the iSCSI qualified name <iqn> returned by the

discovery command (above):

# iscsiadm -m node -T <iqn> -p 10.10.5.7 --login

Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2001-

05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-beee66602-27e79218c634bfec-rhel1,

portal: 10.10.5.7,3260]

8a0906-beee66602-27e79218c634bfec-rhel1, portal:

10.10.5.7,3260]: successful

4) Find the newly created device name, using the iscsiadm command. In this test

configuration, the new volume is /dev/sdb:

# iscsiadm -m session -P3
