Create Iscsi Disks - Overland Storage SnapServer Administrator's Manual

SnapServer 7.0 Administrator's Guide

Create iSCSI Disks

Navigate to Storage > iSCSI and click Create iSCSI Disk to create, edit, or delete iSCSI disks
on the SnapServer. Be sure to read
before you begin creating iSCSI Disks.
NOTE: You cannot delete or edit an iSCSI disk until all clients have been disconnected from that
The creation process involves first defining iSCSI parameters, then setting up security, and
finally confirming your settings.
Step 1: Define the iSCSI parameters.
In the top half of the Create iSCSI Disk page, configure the new disk:
Setting Label
iSCSI Disk Name
Storage Pool/Volume
Size
10400317-001 10/2011
disk.
Description of Options
Accept the default name or enter a new one. Use up to 20
alphanumeric, lowercase characters.
Select the pool or volume on which to create the iSCSI disk.
For Traditional RAID, if your configuration includes multiple volumes,
select a volume to host the iSCSI Disk. The page refreshes, displaying
the capacity of the selected volume and restoring all fields to default
values.
Accept the default size of the space remaining on the selected pool or
volume, or enter a smaller size.

(Traditional RAID uses "Volume")
If you plan on creating VSS snapshots of the iSCSI disk, be sure
to reserve some of the volume space for the iSCSI snapshot.
The required Snap volume space for VSS snapshots is 10% of
the size of the iSCSI disk per snapshot.
