Follow the steps below to configure the iSCSI target service on the NAS.
1. If no iSCSI targets have been created yet, the Quick Configuration Wizard will automatically be
launched and prompt users to create iSCSI targets and LUNs.
2. Select "iSCSI Target with a mapped LUN" (more on "iSCSI target only" and "iSCSI LUN only" in
the following sections) and click "Next".
3. Click "Next."
4. Enter the target name and alias.
5. Only use "Enable clustering access to the iSCSI target from multiple initiators" for cluster-aware
file systems such as VMware Virtual Machine File System. The "Data Digest" and "Header Digest"
are optional fields (expand on "CRC/Checksum") and are the parameters for which the iSCSI
initiator is verified when it attempts to connect to the iSCSI target. Click "Next."
6. Enter the CHAP authentication settings and click "Next". Check "Use CHAP authentication" and
only the initiator will be authenticated by the iSCSI target, and users of the initiators are required
to enter the username and password specified here to access the target. Check "Mutual CHAP" for
two-way authentication between the iSCSI target and the initiator. The target authenticates the
initiator using the first set of username and password. The initiator authenticates the target using
the "Mutual CHAP" settings. For username and password limitation on both fields, refer to the
following:
o Use CHAP authentication:
Username limitation: The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z and the maximum length
is 256 characters.
Password limitation: The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z and the maximum length:
12-16 characters
o Mutual CHAP:
Username limitation: The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z, : (colon), . (dot), and -
(dash) and the maximum length: 12-16 characters
Password limitation: The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z, : (colon), . (dot), and -
(dash) and the maximum length: 12-16 characters
7. Choose the LUN type and LUN allocation method, enter the name of the LUN and specify the LUN
location (disk volume on the NAS), the capacity and alert threshold for the LUN. Click "Next".
8. Confirm the settings and click "Next".
9. Click "Finish".
10. The target and LUN will both show up on the list.
Creating iSCSI targets
Follow the steps below to create an iSCSI target:
1. Click "Create".
2. Select "iSCSI Target only" and click "Next".
3. Only use "Enable clustering access to the iSCSI target from multiple initiators" for cluster-aware
file systems such as VMware Virtual Machine File System.
