Section 4 - Configuration
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 different 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

checkbox to assign an
iSNS server
to
the network.

IP
address you have assigned

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.
