CONFIGURE ISCSI
You can configure your LaCie NAS share as an iSCSI target client, which allows you to mount a network share as
a local volume. You can then format this volume in a non-network file system such as NTFS, HFS+, or FAT32.
Please note that the maximum capacity for an iSCSI volume is 8TB.
Follow the directions below to allocate a portion of the LaCie NAS's storage to iSCSIShare:
1.
Click the configuration icon (pencil) in the iSCSIShare row and then select Resize iSCSI.
2.
Drag the slider to change the amount of space allocated to the iSCSI Drive. After you click the slider, press
the right and left arrow keys on your keyboard to fine tune.
3.
Click the Apply button, then confirm in the popup window.
4.
You will need to format the share using your operating system's disk management utility (Disk Utility for Mac
and Disk Management for Windows).
5.
Install and configure an iSCSI client initiator from Microsoft (Windows users) or a third party vendor. Refer to
the vendor's documentation for details.
Important info on resizing error: At times, Dashboard > Drive may display a resizing error with iSCSI
volumes equal to or greater than 1.5TB. The error can appear when the administrator creates/expands an
iSCSI volume or reduces an existing iSCSI volume to 0TB. Please note that, in almost all instances, the error
is not correct and that the changes to the iSCSI volume have been applied.
