RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sayan Saha 2011-06-23 20:22:20 UTC 
The Storage Administration Guide (SAG) needs a new chapter on how to setup an iSCSI target. There is no mention of how to do this in the current documentation.

At minimum the section should cover the following:

- How to edit /etc/tgt/targets.conf to add a new target.
- Starting the tgtd service
- Using the "tgtadm" user space utility to set up the target and add new ones dynamically.

draft documentation

Draft documentation attached. It has a bare-bones description of targets.conf and starting/stopping tgtd, really as a strawman so you can tell me what more needs to be added.

Upstream also has a manpage for targets.conf (written by me) that it might be nice to include in the RHEL6 pkg.

Finally, I dimly remember mchristi in some bug saying something about executables that should not be considered user-visible. Was tgtadm one of them? Should we be documenting tgtadm usage? I'm sorry I can't remember the bz.

I don't remember what I said about this. I have happily forgot it :) I actually could never figure out a policy on if users should use tgt-adim or tgtadm or edit targets.conf then do service tgtd whatever.
