1.10.2. Configuring an iface for Software iSCSI
As mentioned earlier, an
iface configuration is required for each network object that will be used to bind a session.
To create an
iface configuration for software iSCSI, run the following command:
iscsiadm -m iface -I iface_name --op=new
This will create a new empty
iface configuration with a specified iface_name. If an existing iface configuration already has the same iface_name, then it will be overwritten with a new, empty one.
To configure a specific setting of an
iface configuration, use the following command:
iscsiadm -m iface -I iface_name --op=update -n iface.setting -v hw_address
For example, to set the MAC address (
hardware_address) of iface0 to 00:0F:1F:92:6B:BF, run:
iscsiadm -m iface -I iface0 - -op=update -n iface.hwaddress -v 00:0F:1F:92:6B:BF
Warning
Do not use
default or iser as iface names. Both strings are special values used by iscsiadm for backward compatibility. Any manually-created iface configurations named default or iser will disable backwards compatibility.
