Verifying that the iSCSI service is running on an existing SVM

If you choose to use an existing storage virtual machine (SVM), you must verify that the iSCSI service is running on the SVM.

  1. Connect IP-address-of-cluster-management-LIF in an ssh session and log in using your cluster administrator credential.
  2. Run the vserver iscsi show command to check the iSCSI service status on the SVM.

    The following example checks the iSCSI service status on SVM vs0.

    DM-cluster::> vserver iscsi show -vserver vs0


  3. If the iSCSI service is not running, run the following command to start the iSCSI service.

    DM-cluster::> vserver iscsi modify -vserver vs0 -status-admin up

  • Creating a LUN
    You can use the lun create command to create a LUN. You can also use the igroup create command to create an igroup and map the LUN to the igroup, which enables the specified host to access the LUN.
