Preparing to Work with Parallels Cloud Storage iSCSI Targets

On each Parallels Cloud Server Hardware Node, where you need to create and run iSCSI targets, do the following:

1. Make sure the pstorage-iscsi and pstorage-scsi-target-utils packages are installed on the Hardware Node.
2. Make sure that the Hardware Node has access to the Parallels Cloud Storage cluster as client and has an entry in /etc/fstab . For more information, see Setting Up Clients .
3. Create a directory in the Parallels Cloud Storage cluster where you will store iSCSI targets and their configuration. For example, /pstorage/pcs1/iscsi .
4. Set the ISCSI_ROOT variable in /etc/pstorage/iscsi/config to the directory from the previous step. For example:

   ISCSI_ROOT=/pstorage/pcs1/iscsi

5. Enable High Availability support for the Hardware Node. For information on how to do it, see the Parallels Cloud Server 6.0 User's Guide .

You are now ready to create and run iSCSI targets in your Parallels Cloud Storage cluster.
