iSCSI not creating virtual disk

Latest response

I am trying to set up iSCSI for the first time on a RHEL 6 physical server. I followed the instructions here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/storage_administration_guide/ch-iscsi

Everthing went as documented up to Step 4.

When I reach step 4, there is no /dev/vdb or /dev/sdb or any other target that I can find appropriate to use the fdisk command on.

Is there a missing step?
Do I just need to do a mknod to create a block device? And if so, should I created something under the /dev/sd* where the local boot drive is /dev/sda already, or do I create a new name (/dev/vdb) and is there any major/minor numbers preferred?

Bill. I think you should use 'lsblk" or "fdisk -l" to check for the available disk in your system to complete step 4.
