Description: Page 181 of the student guide reads, "In this example, please follow along with the steps below while your instructor demonstrates using targetcli to configure a target server."

Step 3 assumes that both /dev/iSCSI_vg/disk1_lv and /dev/vdb2 exist. Page 116 of the instructor guide indicates that the instructor will need to create these items ahead of time. Even if the instructor creates these items, they won't be on student systems.

I feel that there should be a setup script that does this because it will help instructors who don't read the instructor guide and it will allow students to actually follow along with the steps.

As an extra note, the last step of the Important note in the instructor guide on page 116 "dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/disk3_file" seems to have two problems. 1) The dd command doesn't specify a size or count, so it just keeps writing to /root/disk3_file until you stop it with <ctrl><c>. 2) The file /root/disk3_file isn't referenced on page 181 of the student guide. Even if it was, it seems like "fileio/ create file1 /root/disk1_file 100M" has the ability to create it as a specific size anyway. So it seems like we can simply remove the dd step from the instructor guide.
