CHAPTER 2
Accessing Acronis Storage
Clusters via iSCSI
Acronis Storage allows you to export cluster disk space outside Acronis Storage bounds to operating systems
and third-party virtualization solutions. Using dedicated vstorage-iscsi tools, you can export Acronis Storage
disk space as LUN block devices over iSCSI in a SAN-like manner.
In Acronis Storage, you can create and run multiple iSCSI targets per Acronis Storage cluster node. In turn,
each iSCSI target can have multiple LUNs (virtual disks). At any given moment, each iSCSI target runs on a
single Hardware node. Thanks to high availability, if a node fails, iSCSI targets hosted on it are moved to and
relaunched on a healthy node.
The figure below shows a typical network configured for exporting Acronis Storage disk space over iSCSI.
