lio-utils (lio-utils.git) provide a simple low-level configuration tool set for LinuxIO.

lio-utils use the configFS kernel API that is available with LIO, which provides a clean interface for controlling the kernel level target engine and its fabric module subsystems.

Overview

Setup

Source code

Install rpmbuild and a libsnmp*-dev package, then:

make user_rpms

The 32-bit package should be built in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/.

Checkout a local git tree can be checked out with:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/lio/lio-utils.git lio-utils.git

Installation

tcm_node.py and lio_node.py form the simple CLI for creating, modifying and viewing the running configuration of LinuxIO and iSCSI respectively. They can be installed with:

make install

This uses

python setup.py install

to install lio-utils.git/tcm-py and lio-utils.git/lio-py into /usr/lib/$PYTHON_VER/site-packages (also /usr/lib64).

Configuration

Once tcm_node, tcm_dump, lio_node, and lio_dump are installed, they can be used to configure LIO. Here are the basics.

Files

The configuration scripts are in:

Target/configFS: /etc/target/tcm_start.sh
iSCSI/configFS: /etc/target/lio_start.sh

Start

Starting LIO:

/etc/init.d/target start

Stop

Stopping LIO:

/etc/init.d/target stop

calls:

lio_node --unload
tcm_node --unload

to walk the ConfigFS trees and shutdown the running configure and unload the modules.

Status

Print the status:

/etc/init.d/target status

With the output from:

tcm_node --listhbas
lio_node --listendpoints

Dump

tcm_dump.py: print the running Target/configFS layout to STDOUT.
lio_dump.py: print the running iSCSI/configFS layout to STDOUT.

CLI operations

lio-utils is a simple userspace shell for LIO:

Target CLI: basic LinuxIO CLI operations using tcm_node.py from lio-utils.
iSCSI CLI: basic iSCSI CLI operations using lio_node.py and lio_dump.py from lio-utils.

Target

The shell command tcm_node controls the Target/configFS.

Here are the Python "optparsed" arguments for the different v3.x CLI operations, which can also be accessed directly at /sys/kernel/config/target/core. The complete functionality for full SPC-4 Persistent Reservations and ALUA support has been added to lio-utils.
