## Step 1. Setting up iSCSI target and iSCSI initiator
**Setup A.** On Fedora 21 nodes
If you use Fedora 21 on Kubernetes node, then first install iSCSI initiator on the node:
# yum -y install iscsi-initiator-utils
then edit */etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi* and */etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf* to match your iSCSI target configuration.
I mostly followed these [instructions](http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Fedora_21&p=iscsi&f=2) to setup iSCSI initiator and these [instructions](http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Fedora_21&p=iscsi) to setup iSCSI target.
**Setup B.** On Unbuntu 12.04 and Debian 7 nodes on GCE
GCE does not provide preconfigured Fedora 21 image, so I set up the iSCSI target on a preconfigured Ubuntu 12.04 image, mostly following these [instructions](http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_12.04&p=iscsi). My Kubernetes cluster on GCE was running Debian 7 images, so I followed these [instructions](http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_7.0&p=iscsi&f=2) to set up the iSCSI initiator.
##Step 2. Creating the pod with iSCSI persistent storage
Once you have installed iSCSI initiator and new Kubernetes, you can create a pod based on my example *iscsi.json*. In the pod JSON, you need to provide *targetPortal* (the iSCSI target's **IP** address and *port* if not the default port 3260), target's *iqn*, *lun*, and the type of the filesystem that has been created on the lun, and *readOnly* boolean.
Once your pod is created, run it on the Kubernetes master:
#cluster/kubectl.sh create -f your_new_pod.json
Here is my command and output:
```console
# cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/iscsi/iscsi.json
# cluster/kubectl.sh get pods
POD IP CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) HOST LABELS STATUS CREATED MESSAGE
iscsipd 10.244.3.14 kubernetes-minion-bz1p/104.154.61.231 <none> Running About an hour
iscsipd-rw kubernetes/pause Running About an hour
iscsipd-ro kubernetes/pause Running About an hour
```
On the Kubernetes node, I got these in mount output
```console
# mount |grep kub
/dev/sdb on /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/iscsi/iscsi/10.240.205.13:3260-iqn-iqn.2014-12.world.server:storage.target1-lun-0 type ext4 (ro,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb on /var/lib/kubelet/pods/e36158ce-f8d8-11e4-9ae7-42010af01964/volumes/kubernetes.io~iscsi/iscsipd-ro type ext4 (ro,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdc on /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/iscsi/iscsi/10.240.205.13:3260-iqn-iqn.2014-12.world.server:storage.target1-lun-1 type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)
/dev/sdc on /var/lib/kubelet/pods/e36158ce-f8d8-11e4-9ae7-42010af01964/volumes/kubernetes.io~iscsi/iscsipd-rw type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)
```
If you ssh to that machine, you can run `docker ps` to see the actual pod.
```console
# docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

```
Run *docker inspect* and I found the Containers mounted the host directory into the their */mnt/iscsipd* directory.
```console
# docker inspect --format '{{index .Volumes "/mnt/iscsipd"}}' cc051196e7af
/var/lib/kubelet/pods/75e0af2b-f8e8-11e4-9ae7-42010af01964/volumes/kubernetes.io~iscsi/iscsipd-rw
