4.5.1 Portal Management<br />

The <strong>NAS</strong> supports built-in iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) service for server<br />

clustering and virtualized environments.<br />

iSCSI Configuration<br />

The <strong>NAS</strong> supports built-in iSCSI service. To use this function, follow the steps below:<br />

1. Install an iSCSI initiator on the computer (Windows PC, Mac, or Linux).<br />

2. Enable iSCSI Target Service on the <strong>NAS</strong> and create an iSCSI target.<br />

3. Run the iSCSI initiator and connect to the iSCSI target (<strong>NAS</strong>).<br />

4. After successful logon, format the iSCSI target (disk volume). You can start to use the disk<br />

volume on the <strong>NAS</strong> as a virtual drive on the computer.<br />

In between the relationship of your computer and the storage device, the computer is called an initiator<br />

because it initiates the connection to the device, which is called a target.<br />

No te : It is suggested NOT to connect to the same iSCSI target with two different clients (iSCSI<br />

initiators) at the same time, because this may lead to data damage or disk damage.<br />
