IT - Linux:iSCSI discovering new LUNs for the same client

Server

  1. Add new disk (insert into USB cage with slot power-off)
  2. Power-on the slot. Wait few seconds and check the new disk is visible
    $ lsblk --scsi

  3. Get disk WWN. This is important because at every system reboot, the device can change. This onyl affect USB devices
    $ ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id/|grep 'wwn.*sdf'
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root  9 Feb 22 21:18 wwn-0x5000c500e66beeca -> ../../sdf
  4. Update the CreateTarget_?.sh script
    ...
    #----- Add the backstores
    targetcli /backstores/block create t15-A-disk0 /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c500e66beeca
    ...
    #----- Add the LUNs from this "server" that will be shared trough the "access point"
    targetcli /iscsi/${sThis}/tpg1/luns create /backstores/block/t15-A-disk0
    ...
  5. Manually update the iSCSI setup, executing the commands above
    $ sudo targetcli

Client

  1. Check that the new disk is still not visible on the client side
    $ lsblk --scsi -t|grep t15
    sdk  11:0:0:0   disk LIO-ORG  t15-A-disk1              4.0 2c0dbded-a792-47dc-9b34-5bb4915a945c iscsi          0   4096   524288    4096     512    1 bfq       226  1024    0B

  2. Rescan iSCSI bus for new targets
    $ sudo iscsiadm -m session --rescan
    [sudo] password for afberendsen: 
    Rescanning session [sid: 2, target: iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:4aa4ea84d4aa, portal: 192.168.0.15,3260]

    Rescanning session [sid: 1, target: iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:4aa4ea84d4aa, portal: 192.168.0.16,3260]
  3. Confirm the new target is available
    $ lsblk --scsi -t|grep t15

  4. To add the new disk into a ZFS pool
    1. Call fdisk and confirm the disk is using GPT. If not, re-partition the disk with GPT.
      $ sudo fdisk  /dev/sdad
      
      Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.39.3).
      Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
      Be careful before using the write command.

      Command (m for help): g

      Command (m for help): w
      The partition table has been altered.

    2. Identify the disk partition UUID
      $ ls -laF /dev/disk/by-partuuid/|grep sdad
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  11 Feb 22 22:03 77c5a28a-c107-43fc-8f0b-bce8b7382565 -> ../../sdad1
    3. Add the new partition to the ZFS pool. This can take some time...
      $ sudo zpool list
      NAME          SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
      pool_videos   382T   368T  14.2T        -         -    71%    96%  1.00x    ONLINE  -
      $ time sudo zpool add pool_videos  /dev/disk/by-partuuid/77c5a28a-c107-43fc-8f0b-bce8b7382565

ATA Drive Capacity Limitations

ATA interface versions up through ATA-5 suffered from a drive capacity limitation of about 137GB (billion bytes). Depending on the BIOS used, you can further reduce this limitation to 8.4GB, or even as low as 528MB (million bytes). This is due to limitations in both the BIOS and the ATA interface, which when combined create even further limitations. To understand these limits, you have to look at the BIOS (software) and ATA (hardware) interfaces together. NOTE In addition to the BIOS/ATA limitations discussed in this section, various operating system limitations exist. These are described later in this chapter. The limitations when dealing with ATA drives are those of the ATA interface as well as the BIOS interface used to talk to the drive. A summary of the limitations is shown in Table 7.12. Table 7.12. ATA/IDE Capacity Limitations for Various Sector Addressing Methods Sector Addressing Method Total Sectors Calculation Maximum Total Sectors Maximum Capacity (Byte...
