Creating iSCSI Target Accounts 

OpenEye recommends creating a separate volume for each recorder on your system. The size of each 
volume is dependent on the recording needs of each recorder. Repeat these steps as necessary to 
create the appropriate number of volumes in the appropriate sizes for your needs.

Yes

iSCSI Target Name

Note

 

The iSCSI Target Name must consist of lowercase letters and numbers only. No spaces, 
special characters, or underscores are to be used. For example: 

n1.3

, meaning “NVR1 with 

3TB storage.” 

 

6.  Type an effective description of the target. 

7.  Type the IP Address of the recorder you are assigning to this volume in the 

IQN

 field, and then click

The iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) allows the iSCSI target to identify the iSCSI initiator 
requesting access. OpenEye recommends using the IP address of the connecting recorder, 
but you can also use the MAC address or DNS name.
