for server clustering and virtualized environments.
Users can enable or disable the iSCSI service, change the port of the iSCSI portal,
enable/disable the iSNS service, and list and manage all iSCSI targets and LUNs on this
page. The NAS supports multiple iSCSI targets and multiple LUNs per target. iSCSI LUNs
can be mapped or unmapped to a specific target.

2. Create an iSCSI target on the NAS.
3. Run the iSCSI initiator and connect to the iSCSI target on the NAS.
4. After successful logon, format the iSCSI target (disk volume). The disk volume on
