End-to-end storage management with RAID 0/1/5/10 (mdadm), hot spare promotion, and LVM workflows deploy PV/VG/LV, extend and shrink safely, take snapshots, and remove cleanly on RHEL 10.
Build a resilient iSCSI target on RHEL 10 with targetcli (backstores/LUNs/ACL/portals), open TCP/3260, and connect from Linux/Windows initiators; format, mount by UUID with _netdev.
