Comments on Using iSCSI On Ubuntu 9.04 (Initiator And Target)
Using iSCSI On Ubuntu 9.04 (Initiator And Target) This guide explains how you can set up an iSCSI target and an iSCSI initiator (client), both running Ubuntu 9.04. The iSCSI protocol is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows iSCSI initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) iSCSI target using normal ethernet cabling. To the iSCSI initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive.

And this is exactly why I wish I had taken some programming classes back during my schooling days... some of this stuff is very complex and can takes hours for amateurs (me) to understand.

This has nothing to do with programming. This is all system administration stuff.
Instead of referring to the iSCSI target as /dev/sdb1 in mount or /etc/fstab (as it is not guaranteed that you get /dev/sdb1 at next reboot if you have several iSCSI LUNs on the same initiator), you should have a look under /dev/disk/by-path - the targets are visible there with full name, and the device can be referenced through here from mkfs, mount and /etc/fstab.
Not nice I know, in rc.local ...
I have a proliant ML370 that is a hardware RAID 5 how to i set it up to use the raid device instead of a logical volume or mirror file.
I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server and these are the devices that show up for fdisk -l
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2
/dev/cciss/c0d0p5
Just working through this for a proof of concept. However, since I am in a single disk environment I have no volume groups to test with. I am not familliar with lvcreate either but could a person create a volume within /dev/sda1 to test with?
