    1. The document describes how to set up iSCSI on a CentOS 7 server to provide block storage to two clients, one Windows and one CentOS. It involves creating an LVM volume on the server, installing targetcli, creating an iSCSI target, ACL, LUN, and discovering and connecting the LUN from the clients. 2. Key steps are creating an LVM volume to back the iSCSI storage, using targetcli to configure the iSCSI target, LUN, ACLs, and portals. The Windows and CentOS clients then discover and connect to the iSCSI target and access the mounted storage.
