Update INSTALL.md to list 'which' as a required dependency.
Without it, scst init script fails with:
/etc/init.d/scst: line 149: which: command not found
as seen in systemd logs:

# Building and installing SCST
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
If the following packages have not yet been installed, install these now:
|
|
|
|
which
|
|
bzip2
|
|
gcc
|
|
kernel-devel or kernel-default-devel
|
|
kernel-modules-extra (only on Fedora)
|
|
libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel
|
|
libperl-dev or perl-devel
|
|
make
|
|
perl
|
|
perl-Data-Dumper
|
|
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker (not needed on Debian systems)
|
|
rpm-build (only on RPM-based systems)
|
|
tar
|
|
|
|
## Building SCST
|
|
|
|
The next step is to build and install SCST. How to do that depends on whether
|
|
or not your Linux distribution supports a package manager:
|
|
|
|
make 2release
|
|
if rpm -q glibc >/dev/null 2>&1; then
|
|
rm -rf {,scstadmin/}rpmbuilddir
|
|
make rpm
|
|
sudo rpm -U $PWD/{,scstadmin/}rpmbuilddir/RPMS/*/*.rpm
|
|
elif dpkg-query -s libc-bin >/dev/null 2>&1; then
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential debhelper devscripts gcc make lintian quilt
|
|
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) || sudo apt install pve-headers-$(uname -r)
|
|
make dpkg
|
|
sudo dpkg -i $PWD/dpkg/{scst,iscsi-scst,scstadmin}_*.deb
|
|
else
|
|
make 2release
|
|
BUILD_2X_MODULE=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA_FC=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX_TARGET=y make all
|
|
sudo BUILD_2X_MODULE=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA_FC=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX_TARGET=y make -C "$PWD" install
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
Since the above step installs several kernel modules into directory
|
|
/lib/modules/$(uname -r), that step has to be repeated every time a new kernel
|
|
or a kernel update has been installed. If you want to avoid this, install the
|
|
scst-dkms package instead of the scst package.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to have dkms support for your SCST rpm install, then
|
|
you would use the following command to make your SCST packages:
|
|
|
|
make rpm-dkms
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
make scst-dkms-rpm
|
|
|
|
make rpm-dkms also builds scstadmin packages in addition to the SCST dkms
|
|
packages. Both make commands will create rpm packages that will cause SCST to be
|
|
automatically rebuilt and installed every time a new kernel version is
|
|
installed and booted for which the SCST kernel modules had not yet been built
|
|
so that SCST rpm packages will not need to be rebuilt after each kernel update.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring SCST
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to configure SCST is to create a configuration file
|
|
/etc/scst.conf and by using scstadmin to load that configuration file. The
|
|
/etc/init.d/scst script uses scstadmin to load the /etc/scst.conf file. The
|
|
following information is present in /etc/scst.conf:
|
|
|
|
* Which local storage has to be exported by SCST, e.g. a file, block device or
|
|
SCSI device.
|
|
* Through which storage adapter ports SCST allows access to the local
|
|
storage.
|
|
* Which initiator systems are allowed to log in.
|
|
|
|
For more information about scst.conf, see also
|
|
scstadmin/scstadmin.sysfs/man5/scst.conf.5.
|
|
|
|
Loading the SCST kernel modules and applying the /etc/scst.conf configuration
|
|
file is possible as follows:
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/scst restart
|
|
|
|
After SCST has been loaded, configuration changes can be applied without
|
|
unloading and reloading the SCST kernel modules:
|
|
|
|
scstadmin -config /etc/scst.conf
|
|
|
|
After the SCST configuration has been changed via scstadmin or by modifying the
|
|
SCST sysfs attributes, the new configuration can be saved e.g. as follows:
|
|
|
|
scstadmin -write_config /etc/scst.conf.new
|
|
|
|
More information about the device handler and target driver sysfs attributes
|
|
can be found in the scst/README document. More detailed instructions about
|
|
iSCSI, QLogic FC, SRP and FCoE configuration can be found in the following
|
