Hello.
I've got a box with bacula-sd which should use a tape drive;
unfortunately, there's no physical space for such a drive on that box,
so I'm considering iSCSI to let it access a tape on another box.
Is this possible?
While doing some tests, I installed istgt on the target box (7.4/i386)
and I have this in /usr/local/etc/istgt/istgt.conf:
[LogicalUnit1]
Comment "Pass-through Tape"
TargetName tape1
TargetAlias "Pass Through Tape"
Mapping PortalGroup1 InitiatorGroup1
AuthMethod CHAP
AuthGroup AuthGroup1
UnitType pass
LUN0 Device /dev/sa0
On the initianting box (9.0/amd64), I put the following in /etc/iscsi.conf:
itape1 {
authMethod =CHAP
chapIName =xxxxxx
chapSecret =yyyyyyyyyyyyy
initiatorname =zzzzz
TargetName =jjjjj:tape1
TarrgetAddress=jjjjj:3260,1
}
Now:
# iscontrol -d -t jjjjj
TargetName=jjjjj:tape1
TargetAddress=a.b.c.d:3260,1
#iscontrol -c /etc/iscsi.conf -n itape1 -t jjjjj&
ls /dev/ | grep iscsi
iscsi
iscsi0
# mt -f /dev/iscsi status
mt: Device not configured
# mt -f /dev/iscsi0 status
mt: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Am I doing something wrong or is this not implemented?
bye & Thanks
av.
