The NAS supports built-in Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI)
service for server clustering and virtualized environments. The iSCSI service
allows the transmission of SCSI commands over an IP network.

iSCSI Initiator Installation
If you are using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008, Microsoft
iSCSI software initiator is included. On these platforms, no installation is required.
For other Windows platforms, some basic steps of iSCSI initiator installation are:
1. When installing the iSCSI initiator on a Windows machine, the setup will take you
through the process of "Enabling MPIO for iSCSI."
2. Next you will connect to the iSCSI array by adding the NAS IP address and port
number in an "Add target portal" dialog window.
3. Modify the iSCSI initiator properties like connecting to the target, then you need
to bind the iSCSI targets to the iSCSI start up process.
4. When you mount a brand-new iSCSI-based volume on your server, Windows
treats it the same as if you have added a new hard drive to your computer.
