   Field/Item	Description
   EVS	The EVS that will host the iSCSI target.
   change	Click to select a different EVS.
   iSCSI Domain	The DNS domain used when creating the Globally Unique Name of an iSCSI target.
   Alias	The name of the iSCSI target. This can be a maximum of 255 characters long.
   Comment	Additional descriptive information about the target.
   Secret	The password used to secure the target from any unauthorized access. The initiator authenticates against this password when connecting to the target. The secret should be greater than or equal to 12 characters, but less than 17 characters, in length. Although the secret may be between 1-255 characters in length, some iSCSI initiators will refuse to connect if the secret contains less than 12 characters or more than 16 characters.
   Enable Authentication	By default, the check box is filled. Filling or clearing the check box enables or disables authentication. When authentication is disabled, initiators are permitted to connect to the target and its logical units without needing to know the target's secret.
   Access Configuration	Enter the desired access configuration parameters. Refer to the Access Configuration table for details on how to define the Access Configuration List.
   Available Logical Units	The list of Logical Units available to assign an iSCSI target.
   Selected Logical Units	The list of Logical Units added to the target.
