4.2.3.1 iSCSI Storage
The NAS supports the built-in iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface)
service for server clustering and virtualized environments.
Users can enable or disable the iSCSI service, change the port of the iSCSI portal,
enable/disable the iSNS service, and list and manage all iSCSI targets and LUNs on this
page. The NAS supports multiple iSCSI targets and multiple LUNs per target. iSCSI LUNs
can be mapped or unmapped to a specific target.

iSC SI C onfigura tion
The NAS supports the built-in iSCSI service. To use this function, follow the steps
below:
1. Install an iSCSI initiator on the computer (Windows PC, Mac, or Linux).
2. Create an iSCSI target on the NAS.
3. Run the iSCSI initiator and connect to the iSCSI target on the NAS.
4. After successful logon, format the iSCSI target (disk volume). The disk volume on
the NAS can then be used as a virtual drive for the computer.
Between the computer and the storage device, the computer is called an initiator
because it initiates the connection to the device, and the storage device is referred to
as a target. An iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) is a logical volume mapped to the iSCSI
target and there are two types of LUNs: file based LUN and block based LUN. The file
based LUN is the legacy LUN, while the block based LUN is available for certain NAS
models. Please refer to the product comparison table for details.
The table below lists the features supported by block based LUNs and file based LUNs:
