iSCSI Target Device
iSCSI target devices are devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAID controllers that are
attached to the network. Each device is identified by an IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name).
iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN)
Anything connected to a network, be it a computer, printer or iSCSI device must have a unique
identifier, such as an IP address, to enable other devices to communicate with it. With iSCSI devices
(both targets and initiators) an extra level of identification in addition to the IP address is employed.
This is called the IQN. The IQN includes the iSCSI Target’s name and an identifier for the shared
iSCSI device.
Example: 2002-12.com.4bridgeworks.sdt600a014d10:5
CHAP
CHAP is an authentication scheme used by Servers to validate the identity of clients and vice versa.
When CHAP is enabled, the initiator must send the correct Username and Target Password to gain
access to the iSCSI Bridge. The Initiator Secret is provided to allow iSCSI mutual CHAP. If mutual
CHAP is selected on the Initiator, the iSCSI Bridge will authenticate itself with the initiator using the
initiator secret.
SCSI Target Device
A SCSI device is a device that is connected to the SCSI bus that can be accessed by the Server.
Each device on the SCSI bus has a Unique ID number in the range 0-15.
