# Configure iSCSI

Set the storage-type to “iscsi” and configure the target and port.

```
juju config storage-connector \
    storage-type='iscsi' \
    iscsi-target=<TARGET_IP> \
    iscsi-port=<PORT>
```

The [iSCSI initiator](https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-iscsi) name can be configured through the `initiator-dictionary` config option. This modifies the `/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi` file and allows you to specify the node’s initiator name (which will be generated randomly otherwise).

```
juju config storage-connector \
     initiator-dictionary='{"hostname1": "iqn.yyyy-mm.naming-authority:uniquename1", "hostname2": "iqn.yyyy-mm.naming-authority:uniquename2"}'
```

The restarting of the services after iSCSI related changes does not happen automatically. Read more about the reasoning behind this [here](https://charmhub.io/bootstack-charmers-storage-connector/docs/manual-restart-iscsi-services).

Restart the iSCSI services through the `restart-services` charm action.

```
juju run storage-connector/0 restart-services --params services="iscsid open-iscsi"
```
