IM2 - iSCSI based storage

11.3
What is iSCSI?
iSCSI; Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface).
l
SCSI is an older standard used by storage devices to communicate with
l
PC's to exchange the data. Specifically, iSCSI is a TCP/IP based
communication protocol.
Specifically, iSCSI is a TCP/IP based communication protocol.
l
Note The iSCSI is for use with the Interface/Controller Card IM2 only.
(Mainframes shipped before January 2012 are equipped with the Interface/
Controller Card IM1.)
Using iSCSI gives you total freedom of placement of the storage device as long
as your existing network topology allows you to reach the destination of your
storage device.
Since iSCSI is a communication protocol, it requires two parties; The Initiator
and the Target.
Targets: Typically Network Attached Storage devices (NAS).
l
Initiators: Typically computers or in our case the GEN DAQ systems.
