 +<code> 
 +InitiatorName=iqn.2005-03.org.open-iscsi:91871cf5e261 
 +</code>

 +It will be important later.

 +Next we need to configure our target (that's the 'server' remember?).  In order to do this we use something called target-cli, so get targetcli-fb from Slackbuilds and install it: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +slpkg -s sbo targetcli-fb 
 +</code>

 +Targetcli requires a directory to store its data, make sure it exists:

-TO BE CONTINUED....+targetcli is a bit like a command-line directory browser except you use it to change values in a hierarchical store. That same hierarchy also contains the commands you invoke to make changes, however.  You've probably not seen anything like it before and it's best just described by example.

 +Assuming you have a spare (unused) disk, you can now create a block device, e.g.: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +/> backstores/block create name=myblockdevice dev=/dev/sdb 
 +Created block storage object block using /dev/sdb. 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +That should be pretty obvious.
