iSCSI: iSNS servers and LAN
The iSCSI service should be used to direct iSCSI target volumes to an iSNS (Internet Storage Name Service)
server on the network. Doing so will allow workstations (initiators) to discover the LaCie NAS's iSCSI volume(s)
via the iSNS server rather than using a direct connection. Using an iSNS server is ideal when managing multiple
iSCSI volumes (targets) and compatible workstations (initiators). To enter the iSNS server IP address:
1. Go to Dashboard > General Settings > File sharing.
2. Select the configuration icon for iSCSI and then Advanced parameters.
3. Choose the checkbox and enter the IP address of the iSNS server.
For instructions on creating iSCSI volumes on your LaCie NAS, see
You can also limit the iSCSI service to a single LAN:
1. Go to Dashboard > General Settings > File sharing.
2. Select the configuration icon for iSCSI and then Advanced parameters.
3. Select the pull-down menu choose LAN 1 or LAN 2.
Important info regarding iSCSI volume sharing: Mounting an iSCSI volume on multiple workstations at
the same time will lead to serious file corruption. An exception can be found with SAN cluster environments
that include servers and software dedicated to managing iSCSI volume sharing.
