access group iSC
SI targets through the group IP
address (discovery address). Access to a specific target is controlled through the access controls assigned to the
target.
group administrator

all features and objects in a PS Series group,
including configuring replication partners. The default group administrator account is grpadmin. See pool

imported Smart Copy credentials

physical storage device such as a volume.
iSCSI initiator
The hardware or software component in a computer that starts the
transfer of information to or from an iSCSI
target. See iSCSI host bus adapter (HBA).
iSCSI portal verification
(Auto-Snapshot Manager) Verifying that ASM can connect to arrays to which it previousl
y connected when last
active.
iSCSI target
An iSCSI block storage device that you access through an iSCSI initiator.
The volumes and snapshots in a PS
Series group appear on the network as individual iSCSI targets.
iSCSI target discovery
An iSCSI protocol exchange that finds the available iSCSI
targets from a target portal or discovery address.
