iSCSI Target
iSCSI Target is associated with iSCSI, the protocol used to transmit data storage data over IP. This standard uses faster SCSI commands over IP networks
in local intranets (LAN’s) and the internet (WAN’s). iSCSI uses two mechanisms to communicate: a target and an initiator. The DNS-345 is the target
and the computers connected to the NAS are the initiators. Note: It is not suggested to connect to the same iSCSI target with two dierent clients
(iSCSI initiators) at the same time, cause it can lead to data loss. To connect to the iSCSI Target, follow these steps:
Log in, go to Management, Disk Management, and iSCSI
Target.
This section is divided into two parts: iSCSI Manager and
iSCSI Targets.
To enable the iSCSI Target, click the Enable radio button. To
disable iSCSI, click the Disable radio button. Once clicked, the
iSCSI elds are visible.
Click the Enable iSNS checkbox to assign an iSNS server to
the network.
Under iSNS Server IP, enter the IP address you have assigned
to the NAS.
Click Save Settings to save the information or click Don’t Save
Settings to change/ignore the settings.
Please Note: Setting up an iSCSI Target requires a connection
to a Virtual Volume. Once you have setup the iSCSI target, go
to the Virtual Volume section.
