A storage on a network is called iSCSI Target, a Client which connects to
iSCSI Target is called iSCSI Initiator.
This example is based on the environment below.
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ iSCSI Target ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.31| [ iSCSI Initiator ] |
| dlp.server.world +----------+----------+ www.server.world |

[1] Install administration tools.
[root@dlp ~]# yum -y install scsi-target-utils
[2] Configure iSCSI Target .
For example, create a disk image under the [/iscsi_disks] directory and set it as a shared disk.
# create a disk image
[root@dlp ~]# mkdir /iscsi_disks
[root@dlp ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/iscsi_disks/disk01.img count=0 bs=1 seek=80G
[root@dlp ~]# vi /etc/tgt/targets.conf
# add follows to the end
# if you set some devices, add <target>-</target> and set the same way with follows
# naming rule : [ iqn.yaer-month.domain:any name ]
<target iqn.2014-08.world.server:target00>
# provided devicce as a iSCSI target
backing-store /iscsi_disks/disk01.img
# iSCSI Initiator's IP address you allow to connect
initiator-address 10.0.0.31
# authentication info ( set anyone you like for "username", "password" )
incominguser username password
</target>
[root@dlp ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/tgtd start
Starting SCSI target daemon: [ OK ]
[root@dlp ~]# chkconfig tgtd on
# confirm status
[root@dlp ~]# tgtadm --mode target --op show
