Network Setting – iSCSI Service
EN104L+(B) is equipped with iSCSI initiator and target services.
iSCSI initiator allow to attach multiple iSCSI target devices and convert them to Logical Volumes for client access. iSCSI target devices may be
locally resident within EN104L+(B) or from a remote/external system.
iSCSI target is doing the opposite, it converts part of the physical capacity into iSCSI target volume and present to the network clients as if a
local disk.
To enable the initiator service, check the Enable iSCSI Initiator Service check box.
For initiator name, either use the default name or rename it following the rules for iSCSI node names. Rules for building iSCSI node names are
described in the iSCSI specification and the “String Profile for iSCSI Names” internet draft. In summary the rules are as follows:
• Node names are encoded in the UTF8 character set. Note the initiator service does not support UCS-4 characters. RFC 2044
describes UTF8 encoding.
• Node names are 223 bytes or less
• Node names may contain alphabetic characters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9) and three special characters: ‘.’, ‘-‘, and ‘:’.
• Uppercase characters are always mapped to lowercase.
To enable the target service, check the Enable iSCSI Target Service check box.
For target name, use the default name given, or, follow the requirements described in the iSCSI specification.
