Whenyoucreateavolume,thePSSeriesgroupautomaticallygeneratesaniSCSItargetname,withthevolume
nameappendedtotheendofthetargetname.EachvolumeappearsonthenetworkasaniSCSItarget.
AnexampleofaniSCSItargetnameforavolumenameddbvolisasfollows:
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic.5-4a0900-2f00000-007eca92d654f160-dbvol
