LaCie 5big Network 2
User Manual
3.8. About iSCSIShare
You can configure a 5big Network 2 share as an iSCSI target cli-
ent, which allows you to mount a network share as a local share.
You can then format this share in a non-network file system such as
NTFS, HFS+, or FAT32.
The way this works is you can allocate a portion of the 5big Network
2's storage to iSCSIShare. Once you do this, iSCSIShare will be
created automatically. To do this, go to
mation
and click on the number in the
iSCSI drive
row. Then, drag the slider to allocate space. Next, format
iSCSI share by clicking the
Format
drive
row.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
There is no maximum amount of the 5big
Network 2's storage you can allocated to iSCSIShare.
Next, you need to install and configure an iSCSI client initiator from
Microsoft (Windows users) or other third party vendor. Refer to the
vendor's documentation for details.
