How to create iSCSI target volume with DSS V7

After creating an iSCSI volume, please choose “CONFIGURATION” -> ” iSCSI target manager” -> ”Targets” and within the “Create new target” function click the “Apply” button to create a new iSCSI target.

Next, in the “Targets” diagram click on the name of a target you have created (e.g. “target0”) and within the “Target volume manager” function click  "+" button located under Action.

Using the “Target volume manager” function you can add “target volumes” only within the scope of one volume group.

NOTE: You can create as many logical volumes and as many separate iSCSI volumes (LUNs) are required.

If you create 5 logical volumes, you may create one target with 5 LUNs or 5 targets with 1 LUN each, or 2 targets where e.g. 3 LUNs belong to the first target and the remaining 2 LUNs belong to the second one.

By clicking on “CHAP users” in the left side panel, you can manage secure access to logical volumes by inputting a CHAP user name and password (password must consist from 12 to 16 characters if you use Microsoft iSCSI Initiator). Next, in “Discovery CHAP user access” you can grant access to this target to specified CHAP users.

NOTE: If you enable CHAP user access authentication but do not select any users, nobody will have access to the target.
