=============
iSCSI Targets
=============
Traditionally, block-level access to a Ceph storage cluster has been
limited to QEMU and ``librbd``, which is a key enabler for adoption
within OpenStack environments. Starting with the Ceph Luminous release,
block-level access is expanding to offer standard iSCSI support allowing
wider platform usage, and potentially opening new use cases.
- RHEL/CentOS 7.5; Linux kernel v4.17 or newer; or the `Ceph iSCSI client test kernel <https://shaman.ceph.com/repos/kernel/ceph-iscsi-test>`_
- A working Ceph Storage cluster, deployed with ``ceph-ansible`` or using the command-line interface
- iSCSI gateways nodes, which can either be colocated with OSD nodes or on dedicated nodes
- Separate network subnets for iSCSI front-end traffic and Ceph back-end traffic
A choice of using Ansible or the command-line interface are the
available deployment methods for installing and configuring the Ceph
iSCSI gateway:
