Notes:
• If you click Show under "Volume List", the volumes will be listed on the screen and you can see if these volumes
are being used as iSCSI or NAS.
• Do not use any of the following words for the name of a volume as these words are reserved for internal use by
the TeraStation: array x, authtest, disk x, global, homes, info, lost+found, lp, mediacartridge x, msdfs_root, mt-
daapd, printers, ram, spool, usbdisk x. Any instances of "x" denote a number (for example: array1 or disk3)
• If an LVM volume could not be mounted, try restarting the TeraStation. If an issue still exists, delete and recreate
the LVM volume. Deleting the LVM volume will erase data on the volume.
Using the TeraStation as an iSCSI Device
Introduction
iSCSI is a protocol for carrying SCSI commands over IP networks. Unlike traditional SAN protocols such as Fibre
Channel, which requires special-purpose cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network
infrastructure. Normal Windows formatting such as NTFS is supported.
Differences Between NAS and iSCSI
With iSCSI, the TeraStation is connected to a single computer, such as a server. Other computers on the network
access files on the TeraStation through the computer it's connected to. The TeraStation can be used as a local drive
from Windows Server. Features of Windows Server such as Active Directory can be used normally.
