Installation on iSCSI

Setup

Additional computer required
This test case requires test machine and another computer providing necessary services
The other iSCSI targets
This document describes, how to work with sw iSCSI target on Fedora with scsi-target-utils package. If you managed hw target for testing or if you are using different tools for sw targets, hopefully you are also able to control it.
Firewall settings
Ensure, port 3260 is available for incoming connection and there is no blocking firewall in the way between target and test machine.
Hint
You can setup iSCSI target on the physical host where you are running your virtual machines
  • Setup iSCSI target (server providing iSCSI drive). To run software iSCSI target on Fedora run following commands:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk bs=1M seek=8000 count=1
# losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/disk
# yum -y install scsi-target-utils
# service tgtd start
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid=1 --targetname iqn.2009-02.com.example:for.all
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /dev/loop0
# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op bind --mode target --tid 1 -I ALL
  • note the IP address of machine hosting the iSCSI target,
  • run the installation on bare metal or virtual machine,
    • To start virtual machine you can use this command:
# virt-install --accelerate -n test-machine101 -r 1024 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/test-machine101.img -s 21 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images

Action

  1. In INSTALLATION DESTINATION select review/modify click Add a disk button,
  2. press Add iSCSI Target button on next screen,
  3. put IP address of machine hosting the prepared iSCSI target and finish the procedure,
  4. ensure the iSCSI disk as well as local hard drive is selected for installation,
  5. select review/modify choice for partitioning,
  6. create / mountpoint, place it on iSCSI target,
  7. create /boot mountpoint, place it on local disk,
  8. create all other necessary partitions,
  9. complete the installation and reboot the system.

Expected Results

  1. iSCSI target is added and used for installation,
  2. mountpoints can be assigned to patitions/logical volumes placed on iSCSI disk,
  3. installation is finished and system starts up,
  4. iSCSI is initialized during boot and all filesystems are mounted,
  5. filesystem layout is in accordance with setup in the installer.

Cleanup

  • To stop iSCSI target:
# service tgtd stop

  4. filesystem layout of the system is in accordance with setup in installer.

Cleanup

  1. To destroy virtual machine run:
# virsh destroy test-machine101
# virsh undefine --remove-all-storage test-machine101

Reuse encrypted partitions

Setup

Preliminary installation required
  1. Do an installation with custom partitioning layout:
    • create /, use encryption for it,
    • create /home, use encryption for it,
    • create any other partition/mountpoint if necessary (/boot, /usr ...)
  2. complete the installation, reboot system,
  3. put some data to /home,
  4. reboot the system and change boot order to boot from installation media,
  5. start installation again.

To start virtual machine, run: 

# virt-install --accelerate -n test-machine101 -r 1024 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/test-machine101.img -s 21 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora.iso

Action

  1. In INSTALLATION DESTINATION select review/modify choice,
  2. enter correct passphrase if you are asked for it,
  3. reuse partition formerly created as / for new / again, reformat it,
  4. assign /home mountpoint to partition formerly created for /home, do not reformat it,
  5. create any additional mountpoint/partition if necessary (/usr, /boot ...)
  6. finish the installation and reboot the system.

Expected Results

  1. It is possible to reuse encrypted partitions,
  2. installation is finished,
  3. system starts up without issue,
  4. passphrase for encrypted disks is requested during boot,
  5. data in /home are preserved,
  6. filesystem layout is in accordance to setup in installer.

Cleanup

  1. To destroy virtual machine run:
# virsh destroy test-machine101
# virsh undefine --remove-all-storage test-machine101

Create multiple VGs

Setup

Multiple hard drives required
You need a machine with more than 1 disks
  1. Run the installation on machine including more than 1 hard drives
    • For testing in virtual machine run:
# virt-install --accelerate -n test-machine101 -r 1024 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test-machine101.img,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=21 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/additional-disk101,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=21 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora.iso

Action

  1. In INSTALLATION DESTINATION choose review/modify choice for partitioning, create following partitioning layout:
  2. create / mountpoint
    • it is placed on LVM logical volume,
    • logical volume is part of LVM volume group called System,
    • just one drive is assigned to volume group System,
  3. create /srv mountpoint:
    • it is placed on LVM logical volume,
    • logical volume is part of LVM volume group called Data,
    • the second one hard drive is assigned to volume group Data,
  4. create all other necessary partitions/mountpoints (/boot, /usr, ...),
  5. complete the installation and reboot system.

Expected Results

  1. It is possible to create two volume groups,
  2. it is possible to assign chosen hard drive to volume group,
  3. it is possible to create logical volumes in all volume groups and assign mountpoints,
  4. installation is completed, installed system starts up without issue,
  5. filesystem layout is in accordance with setup in the installer.

Cleanup

  1. To destroy virtual machine run:
# virsh destroy test-machine101
# virsh undefine --remove-all-storage test-machine101
