To install the ATTO Xtend SAN Initiator program or when
upgrading from earlier versions, you need the authorization
file sent to you in an Email from ATTO Technology.
Install Xtend SAN software
Follow the instructions in the Xtend SAN manual to install the
iSCSI initiator.
You must have administrator access to install the
program. Remote installations will not work. You must install
directly on the MAC.
Disable macOS Power Management when
running Xtend SAN to avoid losing connections.
Target Discovery
DNS/IP discovery is a mechanism that directly contacts an
iSCSI target device. The initiator queries the iSCSI target to
determine what targets are available to the initiator. You can
select all or some of these available targets and the ATTO
iSCSI Initiator creates connections to these targets.
You must know the hostname or IP address for each of the
iSCSI targets to be discovered. Please have this information
available before proceeding.
1. Double click the Xtend SAN icon to open the application.
Initiators are listed in the left-hand panel.
2. Click on the initiator with which you wish to work. The
central panel contains tabs for Initiator and Discover
Targets.
3. Click on the Discover Targets tab.
4.
Click on Discover by DNS/IP.
5.
Type in the IP address or hostname of the device with
targets you wish to discover.
6.
The default Port Number is 3260. Edit the port number if
the port number for your target device is different.

If authentication is required:
a. Type in the Target Secret.
b. If the initiator requires mutual authentication, click
on the Mutual Authentication check box.
