I am not familiar with the linux, but I was asked to create a file system on a LUN from the NetApp that was mapped to the linux server.
The server is runing:
Code:
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The NetApp admin has told me that he has mapped an iscsi LUN of 700Gb.
The first step would be to check if the server see this LUN, but not sure what commands to check, I have try the following: /sbin/iscsi-ls -l the output was : -bash: /sbin/iscsi-ls: No such file or directory
even try this one
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# iscsiadm --mode session
iscsiadm: No active sessions.
, so please can you help?
I did also try fdisk -l which gave me the following output:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 299.4 GB, 299439751168 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36404 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
[root@localhost ~]#
But I still cannot see the newly added LUN, please can you help
This assumes that your Linux is a Debian derivative?
You need to ensure that you have an iscsi initiator as part of the distribution or you need to install one. Then you can run some form of 'discovery' command against the SAN ip address and see what storage it offers you. Then you can start to format it and access it.
I posted a link with the basic steps to take which results in the mount of a new volume which was your original question.
Basically, you need to run 'discovery' against the SAN ip address to see what is offered to you. Ensure that you identify the new resource and not one that you are already using. Login to the LUN, format the LUN with the filesystem of your choice, and then mount the LUN.
