LUN Groups and Access Rights
When you create a LUN, the LUN is unassigned. To access your storage system from an iSCSI-attached
device, you must create a LUN group and assign one or more LUNs to the LUN group.
LUN groups allow you to organize LUNs and manage access rights to LUN groups. Access rights are
either open or granted through internal CHAP authentication. Access rights apply to LUN groups, not to
individual LUNs.You can easily assign a LUN to a LUN group or move a LUN from one LUN group to
another LUN group.
Each LUN group has an iSCSI target address (for example, iqn.1994-11.com.netgear:f2f2fdd4) that allows
iSCSI clients to access the LUN group. For more information, see Manage Access Rights for LUN Groups
on page 96. Each ReadyNAS supports a maximum of 256 iSCSI targets.
Create a LUN Group
To create a LUN group:
1. Select iSCSI.
The iSCSI screen displays the LUNs and LUN groups that you created.
2. To create a LUN group, click the New Group button in the upper right of the screen.
The New LUN Group pop-up screen displays.
3. In the Name field, enter a name for the LUN group.
The default name is groupX, where X is a number in sequential and ascending order.
The Target field is automatically populated. The target is the string that an iSCSI client needs to be
able to connect to the LUN.
4. Click the Create button.
