### iSCSI cluster management tools setup



The access the iSCSI servers, you need to setup the (proprietary)

SMCli utilities from Dell. First, you need to extract the software

from a ISO:



    apt install xorriso

    curl -o dell.iso https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04066625M/1/DELL_MDSS_Consolidated_RDVD_6_5_0_1.iso

    osirrox -indev dell.iso -extract /linux/mdsm/SMIA-LINUXX64.bin dell.bin

    ./dell.bin



Click through the installer, which will throw a bunch of junk

(including RPM files and a Java runtime!) inside `/opt`. To generate

and install a Debian package:



    alien --scripts /opt/dell/mdstoragemanager/*.rpm

    dpkg -i smruntime* smclient*



The scripts shipped by Dell assume that `/bin/sh` is a `bash` shell

(or, more precisely, that the `source` command exists, which is [not

POSIX](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC3046)). So we need to patch that:



    sed -i '1s,#!/bin/sh,#!/bin/bash,' /opt/dell/mdstoragemanager/client/*



Then, if the tool works, at all, a command like this should yield some

output:



    SMcli 172.30.140.16 -c "show storageArray profile;"



... assuming there's a server on the other side, of course.
