How to Setup Iscsi

How to setup iscsi target (iscsi server).
(REDHAT)
Backgroup (setup), there are 3 vmware servers,
host1 192.168.111.129 (act as ISCSI target aka server)
host2 192.168.111.130 (act as ISCSI initiator aka client)
host3 192.168.111.131 (act as ISCSI initiator aka client)
/dev/sdb, 1GB (added after installation of server, as additional harddrive) on h
ost1 (only and not on host2, host3) vmware server i.e. host1 on above setup. Bel
ow commands should only executed in target server (master server not client serv
er).
1.
yum install -y scsi-target-utils
2.
pvcreate isciPV /dev/sdb
vgcreate iscsiVg /dev/sdb
lvcreate -n iscsiLv -l 255 iscsiVg
3.
vi /etc/tgt/targets.conf
default-driver iscsi
<target iqn.2010-11.host1.ibmx.com:server.iscitarget1>
backing-store /dev/iscsiVg/iscsiLv
initiator-address 192.168.111.130
initiator-address 192.168.111.131
</target>
4.
service tgtd start
chkconfig tgtd on
5.
tgt-admin -s
sample output
