Its usual students of mine to decide to study some backup software and, in the middle
of way, they always complaint of the lack of a good environment to test all concepts and
procedures, mainly because theres not free robot and just making backup on disk is boring. ;)
Actually, theres a very good VTL software named mhVTL (
http://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2 ) which could be used in a perfect way and emulating
great brands like StorageTek (nowadays, Oracle). By the way, in this example, Im going to
explain how to setup a VTL (using first a very nice Web interface) and, after everything is
working and accessable from another remote host, Im going to show you details about the
configuration files.
To show you these step-by-step, Im using VMware Workstation 8 and my virtual
network have three virtual machines: the first running CentOS 6.0 64 bits (our VTL), the second
running CentOS 6.0 64 bits too (supposedly our backup machine) and the third running
Windows 7 ( supposedly another backup machine it could be a Windows 2008). Lets see the
procedure.
(On CentOS which will run the VTL)
a) In your first CentOS 64 bits you should prepare your system to download the packages
from Web. As a root user, do:
# rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
# rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
b) Now that your CentOS is configured with the new repository, execute the following
command to install the mhVTL software:
# yum install mhvtl-utils kmod-mhvtl
c) Verify if the SELinux is enabled:
# sestatus
SELinux status:
enabled
SELinuxfs mount:
/selinux
Current mode:
enforcing
Mode from config file:
enforcing
Policy version:
24
Policy from config file:
targeted
d) If true, disable it:
# vi /etc/selinux/config
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
http://alexandreborges.org
Pgina 1

# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
e) Open the port 3260 (iscsi) in the iptables firewall file and save the rule:
# iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 3260 -j ACCEPT
# service iptables save
f)
Reboot the machine:

# reboot
Unfortunately, configuring the VTL in the command line is hard, so you can install a web
interface to help you in this task. Lets do it:
1) mkdir /guivtl
2) Download the Web Manage Console GUI from:
https://github.com/niadev67/mhvtl-gui/tarball/master/
3) cp niadev67-mhvtl-gui-1.4.7-3-g9f3bde0.tar.gz /guivtl
4) cd /guivtl
5) tar zvxf niadev67-mhvtl-gui-1.4.7-3-g9f3bde0.tar.gz
6) cd niadev67-mhvtl-gui-9f3bde0/
7) yum install httpd
8) chkconfig httpd on
9) cp -r * /var/www/html/
10) yum install php

11) Now, its needed to allow the web server user to run all commands as root:
# echo apache ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL >> /etc/sudoers
12) Edit /etc/sudoers and comment out the line Defaults requiretty (highlighted
below):
## Sudoers allows particular users to run various commands as
## the root user, without needing the root password.
##
## Examples are provided at the bottom of the file for collections
## of related commands, which can then be delegated out to particular
## users or groups.
##
Pgina 3

## This file must be edited with the 'visudo' command.
## Host Aliases
## Groups of machines. You may prefer to use hostnames (perhaps using
## wildcards for entire domains) or IP addresses instead.
# Host_Alias FILESERVERS = fs1, fs2
# Host_Alias MAILSERVERS = smtp, smtp2
## User Aliases
## These aren't often necessary, as you can use regular groups
## (ie, from files, LDAP, NIS, etc) in this file - just use %groupname
## rather than USERALIAS
# User_Alias ADMINS = jsmith, mikem
## Command Aliases
## These are groups of related commands...
## Networking
# Cmnd_Alias NETWORKING = /sbin/route, /sbin/ifconfig, /bin/ping, /sbin/dhclient, /usr/bin/net,
/sbin/iptables, /usr/bin/rfcomm, /usr/bin/wvdial, /sbin/iwconfig, /sbin/mii-tool
## Installation and management of software
# Cmnd_Alias SOFTWARE = /bin/rpm, /usr/bin/up2date, /usr/bin/yum
## Services
# Cmnd_Alias SERVICES = /sbin/service, /sbin/chkconfig
## Updating the locate database
# Cmnd_Alias LOCATE = /usr/bin/updatedb
## Storage
# Cmnd_Alias STORAGE = /sbin/fdisk, /sbin/sfdisk, /sbin/parted, /sbin/partprobe, /bin/mount,

## Processes
# Cmnd_Alias PROCESSES = /bin/nice, /bin/kill, /usr/bin/kill, /usr/bin/killall
## Drivers
# Cmnd_Alias DRIVERS = /sbin/modprobe
# Defaults specification
#
# Disable "ssh hostname sudo <cmd>", because it will show the password in clear.
#
You have to run "ssh -t hostname sudo <cmd>".
#
# Defaults requiretty
#
# Refuse to run if unable to disable echo on the tty. This setting should also be
# changed in order to be able to use sudo without a tty. See requiretty above.
#
Defaults !visiblepw
#
# Preserving HOME has security implications since many programs
# use it when searching for configuration files. Note that HOME
# is already set when the the env_reset option is enabled, so
# this option is only effective for configurations where either

13) Install the following packages:

# yum install lsscsi
# yum install mtx
# yum install mt-st
# yum install git
# yum install sysstat
# yum install iscsi-initiator-utils*

14) Configure a directory virtual alias in the web server Apache
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the following line the end of file:
Alias /mhvtl "/var/www/html/mhvtl"
<Directory "/var/www/html/mhvtl">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
15) Restart that your web server:

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Done. Its time to test if our steps has worked. Please, open a browser and type the following
url: http://localhost. You should see this image:

The mhVTL framework already has a configured robot, then were going to erase the current
configuration to prepare for our tests. Go to Setup page and click on Remove button:

Figure 5
On Select Library to remove combo box, take one library at time, toggle Remove All Tape
Media Also ? option to YES and click on Continue button. However, its impossible to
remove the last robot. No problem because were going to create our robot so soon and after
that itll be possible to remove this default robot ;)
Now, lets return to Setup section:

First, click on Add and press Standard button:
Figure 7
Second, as well will choose to create a StorageTek L700 tape library, then we must press
STK (StorageTek) and fill all required settings. Basically, my choices were:
Pgina 9

Library Model L700
Drive Vendor STK
Drive Model T10000A
Compression enabled 1
Compression factor 1
Compression type lzo
Backoff value Default
Number of Drives 5
Number of Maps 5
Media Type T10000A
Capacity 500 MB
Media Barcode Prefix S
Full Slots 20
Empty Slots 5
Library Media PATH /opt/mhvtl
Figure 8
Now, you must press Submit Query button, Finish twice and then Return. From there,
you should return to Console and start the mhVTL engine clicking on green Start button:
Pgina 10
Figure 9
Please, you notice that we have two VTLs now and, if you want to erase the old one, feel free
to do it.
Its time to configure the robot STK L700 as an iSCSI target to make it ready to be connected by
one host initiator using iSCSI. Go to the iSCSI (tgt) section, press Enable and then
Return button :

Weve finished the robot configuration. Now the reader are able to check some interesting
details about this configuration. For example, we can verify that robot tapes drives are
configured in /opt/mhvtl directory:
[root@centos2 mhvtl]# ls -al
total 88

Lets see how to connect to this robot STK L700.
Windows 7
Connecting a Windows system to VTL robot its very easy. First, we need to find out whats the
IP address of robot system.
[root@centos2 mhvtl]# ifconfig eth0
eth0

I recommend you check if the tgtd daemon is running:

[root@centos2 mhvtl]# /etc/init.d/tgtd status
If it isnt, you should start it:
[root@centos2 mhvtl]# /etc/init.d/tgtd restart
Moving to Windows system (Windows 7), go to Windows Start button, search for iSCSI and
click it. At first tab, type the IP address of system where is running the mhVTL (192.168.1.190)
on Target textbox and press Quick Connect.:

Its recommended to confirm that our VTL is recognized (at least seen) by Windows system:
Pgina 19
Figure 18
Linux (CentOS 6.x)

To connect a CentOS 6.x host to the configured mhVTL, first you need to check if the iscsiinitiator-utils is installed:
[root@centOS ~]# rpm -qa | grep iscsi-initiator-utils
iscsi-initiator-utils-devel-6.2.0.873-2.el6.x86_64
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.873-2.el6.x86_64
If it isnt, you must to install it:
[root@centOS ~]# yum install iscsi-initiator-utils
Now, you need to execute:
Pgina 20

[root@centOS ~]# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.1.190

If someday you want to log out and persistently disconnect from mhVTL:
[root@centOS ~]# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:3274326c6df:mhvtl:stgt:1 -p
