Next, setup the physical capacity for iSCSI thin-provision volume by dragging the 
Allocation bar to the desired size.  
After the size has been determined, click OK to confirm. Now you will see the iSCSI 
thin-provisioning volume is available from the list. Please refer to the screenshot 
below. 
Now you can start to create iSCSI targets to join the newly-created iSCSI 
thin-provision volume. Basically, the iSCSI target under iSCSI thin-provisioning has 
exactly same settings screen as the standard iSCSI target volume creation. The only 
difference is the “Virtual Size” of capacity.   
Unlike creating standard iSCSI target volumes, the capacity has been physically 
allocated. The iSCSI target volume creation under thin-provisioning can virtually be 
up to 16000GB (16TB).  
Let’s take the example below: 
1.  The physical size for the iSCSI thin-provision volume is 333.88GB. You can refer 
the screenshot above.  
2.  The iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning starts with 333.38GB in 
physical size and you may use drag the Virtual Size bar to select the desired 
virtual size. The maximum virtual size is 16000GB.  
3.  In this case, if you make the iSCSI target volume 1700GB, then the virtual size 
is available for the next iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning is 14300GB 
(16000-1700).
