Extending A Snapsan Target - Overland Storage SnapSAN S2000 User Manual

SnapSAN S2000 User Guide
When you click Next, the target details are displayed. Click Finish to create the target.
The target is not automatically assigned a Windows drive letter so it can be used by
hosts on the SAN that are not running a Windows operating system (for example, a
Linux host). To create a target that is automatically made visible to a Windows host,
use Create SnapSAN Disk from the PC and Server Tasks list, as described in
SnapSAN Disk" on page
NOTE: Windows Disk Administrator

Extending A SnapSAN Target

5-4. Alternatively, use Windows Disk Administrator.
You can optionally use Windows Disk Administrator to specify a drive letter. To bring
up the Windows Disk Administrator, go to the Control Panel and select Administrative
Tools. From there, select Computer Management and go to the entry Disk
Management under Storage. This displays a list of disks attached to the system. The
new iSCSI target should appear as a new Unknown disk.
Right-click to initialize the disk: the disk will appear as Unallocated space. Right click
the Unallocated space and select New Partition. The wizard guides you through the
steps of creating and formatting the partition and, optionally, assigning it a drive
letter. It is strongly recommended that you use NTFS rather than FAT for the file
system. You should also select Quick Format, since on an iSCSI disk there is no
difference between quick format and a full format but a quick format is much faster.
