- Make sure that the EVS iSCSI domain is added to the EVS where you are creating the iSCSI target.
- Make sure that at least one iSCSI logical unit is created and available.
- Navigate to Configuration > iSCSI > iSCSI Target Domain and click Create Target.
- In the Create iSCSI Target pane, complete following information for the iSCSI target:
- Select the EVS where you want to create the iSCSI target.
- (Optional) Enable the iSCSI target authentication. If iSCSI target authentication is enabled, set an authentication password.
By default, authentication is disabled. This setting is used to secure the iSCSI target. When authentication is disabled, iSCSI initiators are permitted to connect to the target and its logical units without verifying the target secret.
- Enter a name (alias) for the iSCSI target.
This can be a maximum of 255 characters long.
- (Optional) Enter additional information about the iSCSI target and IP addresses for access configuration of the iSCSI target.
If there are no IP addresses in access configuration, all clients can access the target. You can also add partial IP address or name using wild cards. For example: 10.168.*.*, *.company.com. To deny access to a specific host, use the no_access or no access qualifier. For example, 10.1.2.38 (no_access) which denies access to the host with the IP address 10.1.2.38. To secure and control access to targets, follow these guidelines when specifying the IP addresses, Guidelines for entering values in the Access Configuration box
- Select an available iSCSI logical unit to connect with the iSCSI target, assign a logical unit number, and then click Add.
You can add multiple iSCSI logical units with an iSCSI target. The logical unit number can be any number between 0 to 255.
- Click Create.
