192.168.1.1. Once the Web Control Panel has loaded, select Remote iSCSI Devices from miSAN-
V-Series Options
on the main menu bar. On the Remote iSCSI Devices window, set the following
parameters:
Remote iSCSI Devices
Remote iSCSI device XSet this to Enabled to make the remote
device visible to iSCSI host initiators.
Device X IP addressSet this to match the IP address of the
remote iSCSI target tape device.
Device X iSCSI passwordSet this to match the iSCSI access password
of the remote iSCSI target tape device.
miSAN-V-Series iSCSI Features
The miSAN-V-Series is capable of using CHAP authentication, either uni or bi-directional, in order to
restrict communication between specific targets and specific initiators. This is explained in the “Secu-
rity Configuration” on page 95.
The miSAN-V-Series can also be set to restrict device visibility to specific initiators. For example, a
local/remote iSCSI target with two tape drives can be configured so that one of the tape drives is vis-
ible only to a specific iSCSI initiator (host system) and the other tape drive is visible only to a different
iSCSI initiator, allowing simultaneous backups from both host systems without the possibility of inter-
ference. This is explained in the “Offline Maintenance” on page 108.
Host iSCSI Setup
Once the miSAN-V-Series is available on the network, as an iSCSI device, it will then be listening on
the default iSCSI TCP port
3260. iSCSI hosts can discover, then access and use the device. Test the
miSAN-V-Series network connection by pinging it from a prospective iSCSI host. Once found, the
host iSCSI initiator software will allow the host to discover, access and then use the miSAN-V-Series
virtual devices as peripheral SCSI devices.
User Types
The HSTC/miSAN-V Series has three user types:
1.
Security Officer (only available on units with encryption)
• Configures encryption.
• Manages tokens and keys.
• Performs offloads with encryption disabled.
Caution
If more than one iSCSI initiator (i.e., multiple hosts) is to use the miSAN,
conflicts may occur if multiple host systems try to issue commands to
the same tape device. Ensure hosts do not try to use connected tape
devices simultaneously.
