4.2.4 Virtual Disk
The Virtual Disk (VD) is based on the iSCSI technology, making it the stack master, and
it can connect to other stack targets. With the VD, the capacity of the turbo NAS can
be expanded and used as the system disk volume(s). In addition, disk shared folders
can be created and used for data exchange, storage and backup, just like the local disk
shared folders.
Supported file systems:
Format: Ext3, Ext4, FAT, NTFS, and HFS+.
Mount: Ext3, Ext4, FAT, NTFS, and HFS+.
Note:
The maximum size of a virtual disk supported by the NAS is 16TB.
When the virtual disk (iSCSI target) was disconnected, the virtual disk will
disappear on the UI, and the NAS will try to connect to the target in two
minutes. If the target cannot be connected after two minutes, the status of the
virtual disk will become "Disconnected".
Each virtual disk drive will be recognized as a single logical volume in the local
system.
This function is only applicable to some models. To check for applicable models,
please refer to the product comparison table on the QNAP website.
To add a virtual disk to the NAS, follow the steps below:
1. Make sure an iSCSI target has been created. Click "Add Virtual Disk".
2. Enter the target server IP and port number (default: 3260). Click "Get Remote Disk"
and select a target from the target list. If authentication is required, enter the
username and the password. Select the options "Data Digest" and/or "Header
Digest" (optional). These are the parameters for which the iSCSI initiator is verified
when it attempts to connect to the iSCSI target. Then, click "Next".
3. Enter a name for the virtual disk. If the target is mapped with multiple LUNs, select
a LUN from the list. Make sure that only this NAS can connect to the LUN. The NAS
supports mounting EXT3, EXT4, FAT32, NTFS, HFS+ file systems. If the file system
of the LUN is "Unknown", select "Format virtual disk now" and choose the file
system. You can format the virtual disk as EXT3, EXT4, FAT 32, NTFS, or HFS+. By
selecting "Format virtual disk now", the data on the LUN will be cleared. Then, click
"Next".
4. Click "Finish".
