iSCSI Configuration on the SnapServer the significant increase in write performance that write-cache provides, can disable this feature for individual iSCSI disks. Notes • Write-cache can be disabled on an iSCSI-disk-by-iSCSI-disk basis. Disabling write-cache for an iSCSI disk does not disable write-cache for any other iSCSI disk or any other resources on the SnapServer. • The opportunity to enable/disable write-cache for an iSCSI disk occurs only when the disk is created; it cannot be toggled at a later date. • Disabling write-cache for an iSCSI disk does not eliminate all potential risk of data loss due to an unexpected loss of power as each disk drive contains its own internal cache of 8 MB or more. Disconnect iSCSI Disk Initiators before Shutting Down the Server Shutting down the server while a client initiator is connected to an iSCSI disk appears to the client initiator software as a disk failure and may result in data loss or corruption. Make sure any initiators connected to iSCSI disks are disconnected before shutting down the server. Ignore the Volume is Full Message When an iSCSI disk is created, the volume allocates the specified capacity to the disk. If all volume capacity is allocated to the iSCSI disk and email notification is enabled, the SnapServer may generate a Volume is Full message. This message indicates only that the volume capacity is fully allocated to the iSCSI disk and is not available to other resources. To determine the status of iSCSI disk storage utilization, use the tools provided on the client machine. iSCSI Disk Naming Conventions iSCSI disks are assigned formal IQN names. These appear as the iSCSI device names that the user chooses (or types) when connecting from a client initiator to the SnapServer target, and also on the iSCSI Disk details page. • The format of IQN names for GuardianOS iSCSI disks on the SnapServer is: iqn.1997-10.com.snapserver:[servername]:[diskname] where [servername] is the name of the SnapServer, and [diskname] is the name of the iSCSI disk on the target SnapServer. For example: iqn.1997-10.com.snapserver:snap123456:iscsi0 Note Users with iSCSI disks created in earlier GuardianOS versions will see a shortened IQN name in the following format: 90 SnapServer Administrator Guide
