iSCSI Disks
Internet SCSI
(iSCSI) is a standard that defines the encapsulation of SCSI packets in
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and their transmission via IP. On SnapScale clusters, an
iSCSI disk consumes cluster storage space as a single large file, but appears to a client
machine as a local SCSI drive. This storage virtualization frees the administrator from the
physical limitations of direct-attached storage media and allows capacity to be expanded
easily as needed. Unlike standard volumes, SnapScale cluster iSCSI disks can be formatted by
the iSCSI client to accommodate different application requirements.
Configuring iSCSI Initiators
Overland Storage has qualified a number of software initiators, PCI cards, and drivers to
interoperate with SnapScale clusters. Refer to the vendor’s documentation to properly install
and configure you initiator to connect to the SnapScale iSCSI disks.
