Considering that the open filer is already installed and assigned enough storage.
If not please refer Openfiler installation from the masters...
And add an additional storage100 GB to the openfiler server to create the first Lun to submit to the Exadata server.
Here i have mentioned the details as it will be easy to configure the storage lun and share it across the server/servers. Access the openfiler url and enter the credential.
By default, the URL and the credentials would be as below.
Management Interface: https://<ip of openfiler host>:446
Administrator Username: openfiler
Administrator Password: password
Once you open the webpage , the management interface , then...
Then in the openfiler webpage and follow the steps in the mentioned order
Go to Services tab and Enable iscsi services
Go to System Tab and add server details under the Network Interface Configuration
Go to Volume tab and Create Volume Group with desired name.
But, To create a New volume group we need physical volume.
To create Physical volume, click the "Create new physical volume" option ,
which will redirect you to the Block device management page.From the listed block devices , select the desired one to create volume and share it to the other target servers.Here in this case it is /dev/sdb.
NB : If you don't have a disk, please add a new one
Then , choose the numbers to create the partition, which will be your physical volume
Once the partition created,go to Volume group tab and create volume/add volume
Give desired volume group name and choose the physical volume
Here in this case it would be StoreVg1
Once VG created , it will be displayed in the top.
Then, go ahead with "View member PVs" option to view or create the PV
Here you will create the Logical Volume [LV], for which enter the details under the create volume tab. Consider the filesystem type as xfs.
In this case it is as,
Once you crate the LV,
iscsi targets
create new iqn. for crated volume
Give permission in network ACL
Use lun mapping
Map IQN to Lun
In server
