Operation Manual

Instant Allocation: Allocate the disk space to the LUN instantly. This option
guarantees the disk space assigned to the LUN but may require more time to create
the LUN.
A maximum of 256 iSCSI targets and LUNs can be created. For example, if 100 targets
are created on the NAS, the maximum number of LUNs that can be created is 156.
Multiple LUNs can be created for each target. However, the maximum number of
concurrent connections to the iSCSI targets supported by the NAS varies depending on
the network infrastructure and the application performance. Too many concurrent
connections may slow down the performance of the NAS.
Note: It is suggested to connect only one client to an iSCSI target at a time, because
otherwise, data damage or disk damage may occur.
iSCSI Quick Configuration Wizard
Follow the steps below to configure the iSCSI target service on the NAS.
1. If no iSCSI targets are created yet, the Quick Installation Wizard will automatically
be launched and prompt users to create iSCSI targets and LUNs.
2. Select “iSCSI Target with a mapped LUN” (more on “iSCSI target only” and “iSCSI
LUN only” in the following sections) and click “Next”.
