Chapter 5 iSCSI Disks Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a standard that defines the encapsulation of SCSI packets in TCP and their transmission via IP. On Snap Servers, an iSCSI Disk is based on an expandable, RAID-protected volume but appears to a client machine as a local SCSI drive. This storage virtualization frees the administrator from the physical limitations of direct-attached storage media and allows capacity to be expanded easily as needed. Unlike standard Snap Server volumes, Snap Server iSCSI Disks can be formatted by the iSCSI client to accommodate different application requirements. iSCSI Disks are created on the Storage > iSCSI screen of the Administration Tool. Snap Appliance has qualified a number of software initiators, TOE cards (TCP/IP Offload Engines), and drivers to interoperate with Snap Server iSCSI Disks. See the iSCSI Support page on our website for the latest information on third-party software and hardware, including information on the following: • Supported versions and models • Known Restrictions on the iSCSI functionality imposed by each product • Download, installation, and configuration information Topics in iSCSI Disk Configuration: • iSCSI Disk Management and Usage iSCSI Disk Management and Usage iSCSI Disks are created on the Storage > iSCSI screen of the Administration Tool.

iSCSI Disks
Internet SCSI
(iSCSI) is a standard that defines the encapsulation of SCSI packets in
TCP and their transmission via IP. On Snap Servers, an iSCSI Disk is based on an
expandable, RAID-protected volume but appears to a client machine as a local SCSI
drive. This storage virtualization frees the administrator from the physical
limitations of direct-attached storage media and allows capacity to be expanded
easily as needed. Unlike standard Snap Server volumes, Snap Server iSCSI Disks
can be formatted by the iSCSI client to accommodate different application
requirements.
iSCSI Disks are created on the
Storage > iSCSI
screen of the Administration Tool.
Snap Appliance has qualified a number of software initiators, TOE cards (TCP/IP
Offload Engines), and drivers to interoperate with Snap Server iSCSI Disks. See the
