New in version 1.4.
Discover targets on given portal, (dis)connect targets, mark targets to manually or auto start, return device nodes of connected targets.
parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
auto_node_startup | no |
|
whether the target node should be automatically connected at startup | |
discover | no |
|
whether the list of target nodes on the portal should be (re)discovered and added to the persistent iscsi database. Keep in mind that iscsiadm discovery resets configurtion, like node.startup to manual, hence combined with auto_node_startup=yes will allways return a changed state. | |
login | no |
|
whether the target node should be connected | |
node_auth | no | CHAP | discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod | |
node_pass | no | discovery.sendtargets.auth.password | ||
node_user | no | discovery.sendtargets.auth.username | ||
port | no | 3260 | the port on which the iscsi target process listens | |
portal | no | the ip address of the iscsi target | ||
show_nodes | no |
|
whether the list of nodes in the persistent iscsi database should be returned by the module | |
target | no | the iscsi target name |
Note
Requires open_iscsi library and tools (iscsiadm)
perform a discovery on 10.1.2.3 and show available target nodes
open_iscsi: show_nodes=yes discover=yes portal=10.1.2.3
discover targets on portal and login to the one available (only works if exactly one target is exported to the initiator)
open_iscsi: portal={{iscsi_target}} login=yes discover=yes
connect to the named target, after updating the local persistent database (cache)
open_iscsi: login=yes target=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:f8c1f9e0-c3ec-ec84-c9c9-8bfb0cd5de3d
discconnect from the cached named target
open_iscsi: login=no target=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:f8c1f9e0-c3ec-ec84-c9c9-8bfb0cd5de3d"
