Switching iSCSI LUNs between targets
Follow the steps below to switch an iSCSI LUN between targets:
1. Select an iSCSI LUN to un-map from its iSCSI target.
2. Click "Action" > "Disable".
3. Click "OK".
4. Click "Action" > "Un-map" to un-map the LUN. The LUN will appear on the un-
mapped iSCSI LUN list.
5. Select the un-mapped iSCSI LUN.
6. Click "Action" > "Map" to map the LUN to another target.
7. Select the target to map the LUN and click "Apply".
8. The LUN will be mapped to the target.
After creating the iSCSI targets and LUN on the NAS, the iSCSI initiator installed on the
computer (Windows PC, Mac, or Linux) can be used to connect to the iSCSI target and
LUN and the disk volumes can be used as the virtual drives on the computer.
Expanding iSCSI LUN capacity
The NAS supports capacity expansion for iSCSI LUNs. To do so, follow the steps below:
1. Locate an iSCSI LUN on the iSCSI target list.
2. Click "Action" > "Modify".
3. Specify the capacity of the LUN. Note that the LUN capacity can be increased
several times up to the maximum limit but cannot be decreased. Refer to the table
below for comparison of different LUN allocation methods.
4. Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Note:
An iSCSI LUN must be mapped to an iSCSI target before the capacity can be
increased.
For the type of LUN allocation, the maximum LUN capacity for thin provisioning is
32TB, while for instant allocation, the maximum LUN capacity is free space
available on the disk volume.
