Configuring iSER for SLES12 Linux

The TargetCLI is not in-box on SLES12, therefore you must do the following:

1. To install TargetCLI, copy and install the following RPMs from ISO image

(x86_64 and noarch location).

lio-utils-4.1-14.6.x86_64.rpm

python-configobj-4.7.2-18.10.noarch.rpm

python-PrettyTable-0.7.2-8.5.noarch.rpm

python-configshell-1.5-1.44.noarch.rpm

python-pyparsing-2.0.1-4.10.noarch.rpm

python-netifaces-0.8-6.55.x86_64.rpm

python-rtslib-2.2-6.6.noarch.rpm

python-urwid-1.1.1-6.144.x86_64.rpm

targetcli-2.1-3.8.x86_64.rpm

2. Before starting the TargetCLI, load all RoCE device drivers and iSER

modules.

# modprobe qed

# modprobe qede

# modprobe qedr

# modprobe ib_iser (Initiator)

# modprobe ib_isert (Target)

3. Configure NIC interfaces and run L2 and RoCE traffic before configuring

iSER targets, as described in Step 7 on page 66.

4. Start the TargetCLI utility, and configure your targets on the iSER target

system.

NOTE

TargetCLI versions are different in RHEL and SLES. Be sure to use the

proper backstores to configure your targets. RHEL uses ramdisk;

SLES uses rd_mcp.
