iSCSI Overview
The iSCSI page allows you to create iSCSI drives on your ix4-300d Network Storage and allows the
LenovoEMC Storage Manager to communicate with those drives over a network. An iSCSI drive provides
a single place for all your storage, which you can divide as needed to support all computers in your
enterprise business. iSCSI is useful for transmitting large blocks of data over a network at a high speed.
Only one client computer can connect to an iSCSI drive at a time, so iSCSI drives are not for shared data.
If your business is clustering clients, then a cluster can access iSCSI drives. Also, you must create a list
of users who can access an iSCSI drive. These are not users who have access to other features on your
ix4-300d.
