Configure Iscsi - LaCie 2BIG User Manual

CONFIGURE ISCSI

You can configure a 2big NAS share as an iSCSI target client, which allows you to mount a network share as a
local share. You can then format this share in a non-network file system such as NTFS, HFS+, or FAT32.
The way this works is you can allocate a portion of the 2big NAS's storage to iSCSIShare. Once you do this,
iSCSIShare will be created automatically. To change the storage allocated to iSCSI:
1. Click the configuration icon in the iSCSIShare row and then select Resize iSCSI.
2. Drag the slider to change the amount of space allocated to iSCSIShare. 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. If you set iSCSIShare to be greater than 2TB, 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. Next, you need to install and configure an iSCSI client initiator from Microsoft (Windows users) or other third
party vendor. Refer to the vendor's documentation for details.
The Dashboard offers several advanced parameters. Click the configuration icon and select Advanced
Settings. In this window you can modify advanced parameters related to iSCSIShare.
Important Info: If you are using a Microsoft initiator, CHAP password should be greater than or equal to 12
bytes and less than or equal to 16 bytes.
