title: Add SAN functions to Highly Available NFS/NAS
category: linux
---
This based on my last post where I documented building a Highly
Available NFS/NAS server.
There is not a huge amount that needs to be done in order to add iSCSI
functionality as well.
Add a file called */etc/drbd/iscsi.res* containing:
resource iscsi {
on nfs1 {
device /dev/drbd1;
disk /dev/vdc;
meta-disk internal;
address 10.0.0.1:7789;
}
on nfs2 {
device /dev/drbd1;
disk /dev/vdc;
meta-disk internal;
address 10.0.0.2:7789;
}
}
This differs from the previous resource in 2 ways. Obviously it using a
different physical disk. Also the port number of the address is
incremented; each resource has to have its own port to communicate on.
# Configure Heartbeat
Add a new resource to */etc/ha.d/haresources*:
iscsi1.snellwilcox.local IPaddr::10.0.0.101/24/eth0 drbddisk::iscsi tgtd
Same primary host, new IP address, new drbd resource and of course the
service to be controlled (tgtd in this case).
I also made a couple of changes to */etc/ha.d/ha.cf*:
keepalive 500ms
deadtime 5
warntime 10
initdead 120
This changes the regularity of the heartbeat packets from every 2
seconds to 2 every second. We also say that a node is dead after only 5
seconds rather than after 30.
# Configure an iSCSI Target
Tgtd has a config file that you can use in */etc/tgt/targets.conf*. It
is an XML file, so add entry like:
<target iqn.2011-07.world.server:target0>
# provided devicce as a iSCSI target
backing-store /dev/vg_matthew/lv_iscsi1
# iSCSI Initiator's IP address you allow to connect
initiator-address 192.168.1.20
# authentication info ( set anyone you like for "username", "password" )
</target>
The target name is by convention
*iqn.year-month.reverse-domainname:hostname.targetname*. Each backing
store will be a seperate LUN. A discussion of this is out of the scope
of this article.
By default, this config file is disabled. Enable it by un-commenting the
line `#TGTD_CONFIG=/etc/tgt/targets.conf` in */etc/sysconfig/tgtd*. You
can now enable the target with service tgtd reload.
Now when you run `tgtadm mode target op show` you should get something
like:
Target 1: iqn.2012-03.com.example:iscsi.target1

# Connect An Initiator
Install the iscsi utils:
yum install iscsi-initiator-utils
chkconfig iscsi on
chkconfig iscsid on
Discover the targets on the host and login to the target.
iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 10.0.0.101
iscsiadm -m node --login
If you run `cat /proc/partitions` you will see an new partition has
appeared. You can do whatever you want with it.
