.. _Accessing iSCSI Targets from CentOS 6:

Accessing iSCSI Targets from CentOS 6
-------------------------------------

#. Make sure that the ``iscsi-initiator-utils`` package is installed.

#. Discover the required target by its IP address. For example:

   ::

       # iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.10.100

#. Restart the ``iscsid`` service to rescan for newly added drives:

   ::

       # service iscsi restart

To check that the new drive has appeared in the system, use fdisk, parted or similar tools.
