Chapter 2. Accessing Acronis Storage Clusters via iSCSI
To check that the target is up, run the vstorage-iscsi list command with the target’s name as the option. For
example:
# vstorage-iscsi list -t iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1
Target iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1:
Portals: 192.168.10.100
Status: running
Registered: yes
Host: fefacc38a2f140ca
LUN: 1, Size: 102400M, Used: 1M, Online: Yes
For information about the command output, see Listing Acronis Storage iSCSI Targets on page 6.
iSCSI initiators can now access the target iqn.2014-04.com.vstorage:test1 via the portal 192.168.10.100.
Performance Tips
• Spread iSCSI targets evenly across Hardware Nodes in the cluster. For example, 10 Hardware Nodes with
1 iSCSI target per each will perform better than a single Hardware Node with 10 iSCSI targets on it.
• More LUNs per fewer iSCSI targets will perform better than fewer LUNs per more iSCSI targets.
2.3 Listing Acronis Storage iSCSI Targets
Using the vstorage-iscsi list command, you can list all iSCSI targets registered on a Acronis Storage Node or
display detailed information about a specific iSCSI target on a Acronis Storage Node.
To list all iSCSI targets registered on a Acronis Storage Node, run the command as follows:
# vstorage-iscsi list

To display detailed information about an iSCSI target registered on a Acronis Storage Node, run the vstorage-
iscsi list command with the target’s name as the option. For example:
