ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
3.1 Target management
Storage devices are mapped using the designations for the iSCSI LUN. The easiest way to map devices
is to use the Automatic Target Management feature in the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.
CAUTION CAUTION
Changing the device map can affect the
host’s view of devices and your application
configuration.
To map devices, you must connect the devices to
one of the iPBridge SCSI ports. To access mapped
devices over Ethernet, you must have a host
computer connected to one of the iPBridge
Ethernet data ports.
If you decide to change the automatic mapping set
up when you powered up the iPBridge, you have
two options to map devices after you disable
automatic mapping:
• You may map devices manually to the single
default node.
• You may map each device to its own target to
break the single iSCSI target node into multiple
nodes. Multiple target nodes allow greater
flexibility to grant or deny access between
initiators and devices.
If you divide the default single target node into
multiple target nodes, you must set up access to
each node separately.
See Exhibit 3.1-1 on page 11 to see the difference
between single target node and multiple target
nodes.
Target names
Each iSCSI target node accessed through the
Ethernet port on an iPBridge is identified by a
unique world-wide iSCSI-qualified name. This
format references the iPBridge serial number and
target node name:
iqn.1995-12.com.attotech:ipbridge:
serialnumber <targetname>
Default target node
The default target is set as a single target with
Access Control (ACL) disabled and CHAP
authentication disabled. The default target node
cannot be deleted. The iPBridge maps devices
automatically although you can map devices
yourself.
