• Applicable for UVS Manager 2.14.17+
  • Prepare a CentOS 7 environment, here I'm using CentOS 7.8.2003.


A. Ceph RBD & iSCSI settings

Go to UVS Manager WebUI

1. Create RBD images for iSCSI LUNs

1-1. Select the menu "CEPH" -> "Pools". Create a pool "rbd".

1-2. Select the menu "CEPH" -> "Images" Create an image "iscsi001". You could set the "object size" to "1MiB" for getting better performance. 

2. Create iSCSI LUNs using RBD Images

Select the menu "Storage" -> "iSCSI"

2-1. Press "Manage External Gateway" and create the gateways one-by-one.

Because I added two external gateway servers. I got the following iSCSI list.

2.2 Press "Create iSCSI LUN", select RBD image, and create the LUNs one-by-one.

Because I had two external gateway servers. I got the following list and they are the same LUN.

B. Try to attach the iSCSI LUNs

1. On windows

1-1. Use the "iscsi initiator" to discover the external gateway IP and attach the LUNs.
