Use iSNS
If your iSCSI initiator supports iSNS, your ReadyNAS system can automatically configure
the connection between them.
To use iSNS to connect to an initiator:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS system.
2. Select iSCSI.
3. Click the iSNS button.
4.
Select the Enable iSNS check box, enter the name of the server with the iSNS initiator,
and click the Apply button.
After a few moments the iSNS Settings window closes. The iSNS button updates
indicating iSNS is enabled.
Initialize and Format LUNs
After you set up initiator access to the LUN group, you must initialize and format each
LUN in the LUN group.
For more information about setting up initiator access, see Set Up Initiator Access on
page 113.
The following procedure uses the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator, which is freely
available online and is integrated in Windows 7.
Note: If you use an operating system other than Windows, the steps are different, but
the basic tasks remain the same.
