- Getting help
Veritas Access as an iSCSI Target for RHEL 6.x
Veritas Access as an iSCSI target is available as a technical preview feature for RHEL 6.x in this release.
The following functions are available in this feature:
Veritas Access can be configured as an iSCSI target to serve the block storage.
The iSCSI target service is hosted in active-passive mode in the Veritas Access cluster.
After it is configured, the cluster is available to any standard iSCSI initiator over a portal IP.
You can perform the following functions on an iSCSI target:
Start and stop the iSCSI target service
Add and delete iSCSI targets
Add and delete LUNs
Map and remove mapping of iSCSI initiators
Add and delete users
See the target manual pages for more information.
The following limitations are present in this feature:
Fault injection scenarios have not been covered during testing. Hence, iSCSI functionality may not behave as expected.
In case of a node reboot and cable pull scenarios, the feature may not behave as expected.
When the LUN add or destroy operation is performed concurrently with the target service restart, it may put the cluster in an inconsistent state.
Strong integration with the rest of the Veritas Access code is incomplete.
For example, integration with the network bonding and VLAN feature is incomplete.
Performance testing has not been done.
