2015-04-04 Create REDFERN1 with OEL7

Overview

Since I am getting errors when I use iSCSI under OEL6u3, I have a choice:

1. Upgrade to OEL7
2. Use another type of shared storage

I chose the first option.

Since these VM images are not fully implemented, I decided to erase them and start afresh.

Procedure

Rebuild REDFERN1

Followed the procedure in 01 Set Up redfern1 with the following exceptions:

• Created a new VM
• Disk space for primary drive increased to 32GB
• Used V46135-01.iso (B78477-01) as the boot DVD.

Install Package

Following the procedure in 17.6.2 Configuring an iSCSI Initiator, I installed the following package as the root user:

yum install iscsi-initiator-utils

The output is:
