Multiple target nodes

Multiple targets allow you to create a more
configurable mapping scheme which can
segregate storage into different iSCSI nodes
within the iPBridge, with each iSCSI target
having its own set of access criteria.
For example, if you have two servers and a library
with four tapes and a media changer, the default
node would provide both servers access to all
tapes and the media changer (default target
mode).
If you configured multiple target nodes, you are
able to map some devices to one server and other
devices to the other server, requiring separate user
names and passwords for access using various
methods including Access Control Lists, iSNS
and CHAP authentication. Consult with your
network administrator and refer to Exhibit 3.1-1.
Note
If you map actual storage to more than one
iSCSI target and a server has authorization for
both targets, the server could show duplicate
storage without any warning.

Automatically configure multiple targets

interface, type the IP address of your iPBridge
