This is unreleased documentation for SUSE® Storage 1.12 (Dev).

Use a Volume as an iSCSI Target

SUSE Storage supports iSCSI target front-end mode. You can connect to it through any iSCSI client, including open-iscsi, and virtual machine hypervisor like KVM, as long as it is in the same network as the Longhorn system.

The Longhorn CSI driver does not support iSCSI mode.

To start a volume with the iSCSI target front-end mode, select iSCSI as the front-end when creating the volume.

After the volume has been attached, you will see something like the following in the endpoint field:

iscsi://10.42.0.21:3260/iqn.2014-09.com.rancher:testvolume/1

In this example,

  • The IP and port is 10.42.0.21:3260.

  • The target name is iqn.2014-09.com.rancher:testvolume.

  • The volume name is testvolume.

  • The LUN number is 1. SUSE Storage always uses LUN 1.

The above information can be used to connect to the iSCSI target provided by SUSE Storage using an iSCSI client.
