openSUSE is a general purpose operating system built on top of the Linux kernel, developed by the community-supported openSUSE Project and sponsored by SUSE. After Novell acquired SUSE Linux in January 2004,^[1] Novell decided to release the SUSE Linux Professional product as a 100% open source project.^[2]

LIO has been the default block storage target from openSUSE version 12.1, which was released on 11/16/2011 (based on Linux kernel 3.1.0).

$ su -c 'zypper install python-simpleparse'
$ su -c 'zypper install python-urwid'
$ su -c 'zypper install epydoc'

Install RTSlib dependencies:

$ su -c 'zypper install python-configobj'
$ su -c 'zypper install python-netifaces'
$ su -c 'zypper install python-ipaddr'

Install targetcli dependencies:

$ su -c 'zypper install libreadline6'
$ su -c 'zypper install python-devel'

Build

Build lio-utils.

Build RTSlib:

$ cd rtslib
$ make deb
$ su -c 'dpkg -i dist/python-rtslib_2.1.9.g7076acf_all.deb'
$ cd ..

Build configshell:

$ cd configshell
$ make deb
$ su -c 'dpkg -i dist/python-configshell_1.1.5.gd866b24_all.deb'
$ cd ..

Build targetcli:

$ cd targetcli
$ make deb
$ su -c 'dpkg -i dist/python-rtslib_2.1.9.g7076acf_all.deb'
