SUSE Certified Engineer - Working with iSCSI Initiators and Targets

In this hands-on lab, you'll be working to configure an iSCSI Target on a system using the YaST utility, including the preparation of the disk device to be shared and ensuring that the LIO iSCSI Target service is set up and running. You'll then configure an iSCSI Target on your LIO iSCSI Server, confirm it's working as expected using several utilities, check the configuration file's details, and then configure the iSCSI initiator or client system to connect with the iSCSI Target and make the disk resource available on the client.
