Linux volumes

I am planning to present the disk form lefthand p4500 to my redhat 6.2

1. Does redhat has iSCSI initiator?

2. If I want extend the disk on Linux server is it possible to do it on the fly just like in windows?

Here is a good blog post on this: http://jreypo.wordpress.com/category/storage/

Make sure to install the latest version of the iSCSI initiator utils from the Red Hat Network. Older versions had a major bug where on shutdown the NIC was disabled before the iscsi volumes were dismounted. This has been fixed in the latest version.

Thank you. this answers my first question. How about if I want to increase the volume in size?

In windows it is done on the fly, how about linux?
