Ceph iSCSI Gateway
|
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The iSCSI gateway is integrating Ceph Storage with the iSCSI standard to provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
a Highly Available (HA) iSCSI target that exports RADOS Block Device (RBD) images
|
|
|
|
|
|
as SCSI disks. The iSCSI protocol allows clients (initiators) to send SCSI commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
to SCSI storage devices (targets) over a TCP/IP network. This allows for heterogeneous
|
|
|
|
|
|
clients, such as Microsoft Windows, to access the Ceph Storage cluster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each iSCSI gateway runs the Linux IO target kernel subsystem (LIO) to provide the
|

|
|
|
|
iSCSI protocol support. LIO utilizes a userspace passthrough (TCMU) to interact
|
|
|
|
|
|
with Ceph's librbd library and expose RBD images to iSCSI clients. With Ceph’s
|
|
|
|
|
|
iSCSI gateway you can effectively run a fully integrated block-storage
|
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure with all the features and benefits of a conventional Storage Area
|
|
|
|
|
|
Network (SAN).
