A SAN Target (such as a volume located in the Storage Appliance) is any device that
responds to and communicates with the iSCSI initiator, via the TCP/IP and the iSCSI
protocols.

The Target Settings page opens. Depending on your situation, you can select to Create a
New Target or Choose an Existing Target. The target will be enabled for iSCSI by default.
Check the Allow multiple initiators to log on concurrently if you desire that functionality,
but be aware that it could result in data corruption if not used carefully especially in the
case of different file systems.
