Connect To An Iscsi Target - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

Connect to an iSCSI Target

You can use an iSCSI initiator on your server, PC, or Mac to connect to a LUN within an
iSCSI target and make use of the connection just as you would a local hard disk drive.

To connect to an iSCSI target:
1. Determine if your server, PC, or Mac has an iSCSI initiator, and if it does not, download
and install one.
If your computer uses OS X or Windows XP, your operating system does not come with
an iSCSI initiator and you need to download and install one if you have not previously
done so. If your computer uses Windows Vista or Windows 7, your operating system has
an iSCSI initiator already installed.
For more information, see the documentation that came with your operating system.
2. Configure the iSCSI initiator so that it can find your ReadyNAS system by providing your
ReadyNAS system's IP address or hostname.
For more information, see the documentation that came with your iSCSI initiator.
3. If required by the iSCSI target you want to access, provide the CHAP credentials you
configured for that target.
The iSCSI initiator displays a list of available iSCSI targets. If your ReadyNAS system has
multiple iSCSI targets, the iSCSI initiator shows only the targets supported by the CHAPS
credentials you entered.
You can interact with the iSCSI targets just like you would a local hard disk drive.
