Massimiliano Cuttini 6df20fafa8 doc: rewrote the iscsi-target-cli installation
Rewrote the documentation in a step-by-step style, reformatted using RST's
titles instead of bolds, added installation of GIT if needed, added
installation of compilers needed for tcmu-runner

Manual ceph-iscsi-cli Installation
==================================
**Requirements**
to complete the installation of ceph-iscsi-cli, there are 4 different steps:
1. Install common packages from your Linux distribution's software repository
2. Install Git to fetch the remaining packages directly from their Git repositories
3. Ensure a compatible kernel is used or install a ceph-iscsi-test client
4. Install all the components of ceph-iscsi-cli and start associated daemons:
- tcmu-runner
- rtslib-fb
- configshell-fb
- targetcli-fb
- ceph-iscsi-config
- ceph-iscsi-cli
1. Install Common Packages
==========================
The following packages will be used by ceph-iscsi-cli and target tools.
They must be installed from your Linux distribution's software repository
on each machine that will be a iSCSI gateway:
- libnl3
- libkmod
- librbd1
- pyparsing
- python kmod
- python pyudev
- python gobject
- python urwid
- python pyparsing
- python rados
- python rbd
- python netaddr
- python netifaces
- python crypto
- python requests
- python flask
- pyOpenSSL
2. Install Git
==============
In order to install all the packages needed to run iSCSI with Ceph, you need to download them directly from their repository by using Git.
On CentOS/RHEL execute:
::
> sudo yum install git
On Debian/Ubuntu execute:
::
> sudo apt install git
To know more about Git and how it works, please, visit https://git-scm.com
3. Ensure a compatible kernel is used
=====================================
Ensure you use a supported kernel that contains the required Ceph iSCSI patches:
- all Linux distribution with a kernel v4.16 or newer, or
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS 7.5 or later (in these distributions ceph-iscsi support is backported)
If you are already using on the compatible kernels, you can go to next step.
However, if you are NOT using a compatible kernel then ceph-client ceph-iscsi-test
branch must be used. To get the branch run:
::
> git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-client.git
> git checkout ceph-iscsi-test
.. warning::
ceph-iscsi-test is not for production use. It should only be used
for proof of concept setups and testing. The kernel is only updated
with Ceph iSCSI patches. General security and bug fixes from upstream
are not applied.
Check your distro's docs for specific instructions on how to build a
kernel. The only Ceph iSCSI specific requirements are the following
build options must be enabled:
::
CONFIG_TARGET_CORE=m
CONFIG_TCM_USER2=m
CONFIG_ISCSI_TARGET=m
4. Install ceph-iscsi-cli
========================================================
Finally, the remaining tools can be fetched directly from their Git repositories and their associated services started
tcmu-runner
-----------
Installation:
::
> git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/tcmu-runner
> cd tcmu-runner
Run the following command to install all the needed dependencies:
::
> ./extra/install_dep.sh
Now you can build the tcmu-runner.
To do so, use the following build command:
::
> cmake -Dwith-glfs=false -Dwith-qcow=false -DSUPPORT_SYSTEMD=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
> make install
Enable and start the daemon:
::
> systemctl daemon-reload
> systemctl enable tcmu-runner
> systemctl start tcmu-runner
rtslib-fb
---------
Installation:
::
> git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/rtslib-fb.git
> cd rtslib-fb
> python setup.py install
configshell-fb
--------------
Installation:
::
> git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/configshell-fb.git
> cd configshell-fb
> python setup.py install
targetcli-fb
------------
Installation:
::
> git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/targetcli-fb.git
> cd targetcli-fb
> python setup.py install
> mkdir /etc/target
> mkdir /var/target
.. warning:: The ceph-iscsi tools assume they are managing all targets
on the system. If targets have been setup and are being managed by
targetcli the target service must be disabled.
ceph-iscsi-config
-----------------
Installation:
::
> git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-iscsi-config.git
> cd ceph-iscsi-config
> python setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/bin
> cp usr/lib/systemd/system/rbd-target-gw.service /lib/systemd/system
Enable and start the daemon:
::
> systemctl daemon-reload
> systemctl enable rbd-target-gw
> systemctl start rbd-target-gw
ceph-iscsi-cli
--------------
Installation:
::
> git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-iscsi-cli.git
> cd ceph-iscsi-cli
> python setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/bin
> cp usr/lib/systemd/system/rbd-target-api.service /lib/systemd/system
Installation is complete. Proceed to the setup section in the
`main ceph-iscsi-cli page`_.
