# iSCSI support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Longhorn supports iSCSI target frontend mode. The user can connect to it
|
||
|
|
through any iSCSI client, including open-iscsi, and virtual machine
|
||
|
|
hypervisor like KVM, as long as it's in the same network with the Longhorn system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Longhorn Driver (CSI/Flexvolume) doesn't support iSCSI mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To start volume with iSCSI target frontend mode, select `iSCSI` as the frontend
|
||
|
|
when creating the volume. After volume has been attached, the user will see
|
||
|
|
something like following in the `endpoint` field:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
iscsi://10.42.0.21:3260/iqn.2014-09.com.rancher:testvolume/1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here:
|
||
|
|
1. The IP and port is `10.42.0.21:3260`.
|
||
|
|
2. The target name is `iqn.2014-09.com.rancher:testvolume`. `testvolume` is the
|
||
|
|
name of the volume.
|
||
|
|
3. The LUN number is 1. Longhorn always uses LUN 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then user can use above information to connect to the iSCSI target provided by
|
||
|
|
Longhorn using an iSCSI client.
