  • Page 23: Multiple Target Nodes

    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).
