Install common packages from your Linux distribution's software repository +2. Install Git to fetch the remaining packages directly from their Git repositories +3.

Install all the components of ceph-iscsi and start associated daemons: + + - tcmu-runner + - rtslib-fb + - configshell-fb + - targetcli-fb + - ceph-iscsi + + +1. Install Common Packages +========================== + +The following packages will be used by ceph-iscsi and target tools. +They must be installed from your Linux distribution's software repository +on each machine that will be a iSCSI gateway: + +- libnl3 +- libkmod +- librbd1 +- pyparsing +- python kmod +- python pyudev +- python gobject +- python urwid +- python pyparsing +- python rados +- python rbd +- python netifaces +- python crypto +- python requests +- python flask +- pyOpenSSL + + +2. Install Git +============== + +In order to install all the packages needed to run iSCSI with Ceph, you need to download them directly from their repository by using Git. +On CentOS/RHEL execute: + +:: + + > sudo yum install git + +On Debian/Ubuntu execute: + +:: + + > sudo apt install git + +To know more about Git and how it works, please, visit https://git-scm.com + + +3. Ensure a compatible kernel is used +===================================== + +Ensure you use a supported kernel that contains the required Ceph iSCSI patches: + +- all Linux distribution with a kernel v4.16 or newer, or +- Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS 7.5 or later (in these distributions ceph-iscsi support is backported) + +If you are already using a compatible kernel, you can go to next step. +However, if you are NOT using a compatible kernel then check your distro's +documentation for specific instructions on how to build this kernel. The only +Ceph iSCSI specific requirements are that the following build options must be +enabled: + + :: + + CONFIG_TARGET_CORE=m + CONFIG_TCM_USER2=m + CONFIG_ISCSI_TARGET=m + + +4.
