iSCSI

Just some experiments I made with iSCSI. If you want to use iSCSI in a productive environment, make sure to set up a dedicated network for your iSCSI traffic. And maybe don't use your wireless network for iSCSI. This article covers the following topics:

• Basic Setup
• Reduce access to a specific IP
  
• Incoming user from Initiator to Target
  
• Add initiator name for access control
  
• Automatic lun import on startup
  

NanoPi Duo2 with IoT-Box & GSM/GPRS modem in Armbian

For a longer time I own the NanoPi Duo2 from FriendlyARM including the IoT-Box Carrier Board. The specs of the NanoPi Duo2 and IoT-Box are as follows:

NanoPi Duo2:

• CPU: Allwinner H3, Quad-core Cortex-A7 Up to 1.2GHz
• DDR3 RAM: 512M
• Connectivity: 10/100M Ethernet
• WiFi: 802.11b/g/n
• Bluetooth: Bluetooth V4.0 of 1, 2 and 3 Mbps.
• Camera: OV5640
• ...

IoT-Box Carrier Board:

• Onboard quad-band GSM/GPRS module
• 2 x USB Host
• Serial port and Ethernet port
• Audio input and output
• MicroUSB power input and a power switch
• IPX to SMA WiFi converter

A lot of features are not accessable from the board itself like the ethernet port. One of the reason I also bought the IoT-Box. Another nice feature of the IoT-Box is the GSM/GPRS module (SIM800C), which will be the main focus of this article.
