  • iSCSI configuration with existing extents from old Freenas

    Posted on

    Recently stopped using FreeNas where I had set up a zfspool with 3 extents which were shared over iscsi.

    I am now using these disks in a RHEL 7.2 server and want to reshare the existing zfspool using iscsi (as I had been doing with FreeNas)

    I have installed and setup zfs which picked up the existing pool:

    [root@sycamore ~]# zpool status
    pool: STORAGE
    state: ONLINE
    status: Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can
    still be used, but some features are unavailable.
    action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
    the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
    the features. See zpool-features(5) for details.
    scan: none requested
    config:

    NAME                                          STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM

    I have also set up an iscsi target and portal but am not sure how to associate the existing extents to the target:

    [root@sycamore STORAGE]# ls -l 
    total 1636815334
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1650878054400 Oct 18 17:56 extent
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1100585369600 Oct 18 19:31 extent2
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1100585369600 Oct 18 17:56 extent3
    [root@sycamore STORAGE]# pwd
    /STORAGE
    
    [root@sycamore ~]# targetcli
    targetcli shell version 2.1.fb41
