Uncomment the following lines and replace the variables with the actual host
initiator name and password needed to connect to the iSCSI target:
#node.session.auth.username = <host_initiator_name>
#node.session.auth.password = <CHAP_password>
#discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = <host_initiator_name>
#discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = <CHAP_password>

targets
.
To discover the RDX QuikStation iSCSI targets, enter the following command, replacing
the variable
<RDX_IP_address>
with the actual IP address for your RDX QuikStation:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p <RDX_IP_address>
Depending on how you configured the logical device type for the RDX QuikStation, you
will see one to eight iSCSI targets.

Connect
iSCSI targets
.
•
To connect all discovered iSCSI targets, enter the following command:
# iscsiadm -m node -L all
•
To connect to an individual target, enter the following command, replacing
<target_IQN_name>
with the iSCSI qualified name (IQN) of the target and
replacing
<target_portal>
with the RDX QuikStation IP address:
# iscsiadm -m node -T <target_IQN_name> -p <target_portal> --login
Once all iSCSI targets are connected, the initiator (Linux host) can use the iSCSI disks
as a normal disk. It appears under /dev/sdx devices and you can format or mount iSCSI
disks like a normal disk.
CAUTION:
Before you shut down or restart the RDX QuikStation for any reason, it is
recommended that you disconnect all iSCSI targets.
Connecting iSCSI Targets with CHAP for Mac OS X
The following instructions describe how to connect your Mac OS X host computers with CHAP
authentication using Atto Technology’s Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator. Xtend SAN is compatible
with Mac OS X 10.4.x and later. While we do not require you to use Xtend SAN as your
third-party Mac OS X iSCSI initiator, we recommend that you use an iSCSI initiator that has
been tested or recommended for use with your chosen backup application.
To establish a secure iSCSI connection:
