Terminology
iSCSI target gateway services requires you to understand some additional terminology. Following are
terms that will be used in this document to explain how the iSCSI target gateway is implemented.
Table 15-1
iSCSI Gateway Services Terminology
Term
Definition
iSCSI
Internet-SCSI. A transport carrier of the SCSI protocol over IP.
iSCSI target gateway
An intermediate device in the network that allows the iSCSI initiators in an
IP SAN to access and utilize storage in a Fibre Channel SAN. the FC4-
16IP embedded switch in a SilkWorm 48000 director functions as an
iSCSI target gateway.
iSCSI port
A special GbE port used for iSCSI only. A Fibre Channel virtual initiator
is created behind each iSCSI port running as a proxy Fibre Channel
initiator.
iSCSI virtual target
A unique target device in the IP SAN that contains LUNs from the real
Fibre Channel targets and is identified by an IQN.
iSCSI initiator
A device that begins an iSCSI transaction by issuing a command to
another device (the iSCSI target), giving it a task to perform. Typically, an
iSCSI host adapter is the initiator but targets can also become initiators.
