Getting Started with iSCSI
-
Create an iSCSI target on the
NAS.
For details, see Creating an iSCSI Target.
-
Create a LUN on the NAS.
A LUN is a portion of storage space. LUNs are created from storage pool space.
For more information, see Creating a Block-Based LUN
-
Map the LUN to the iSCSI
target.
Multiple LUNs can be mapped to one target.
For details, see Mapping a LUN to an iSCSI Target.
-
Install an iSCSI initiator
application or driver on the host.
The host is the service, computer, or NAS device that will access the LUN.
-
Connect the iSCSI initiator to
the iSCSI target on the NAS.
Warning:
To prevent data corruption, multiple iSCSI initiators should not connect to the same LUN simultaneously.
The LUNs mapped to the iSCSI target appear as disks on the host.
- In the host OS, format the disks.
