NOTE: The following table shows the different access-type configurations that you can choose in the Define iSCSI Access Points window, and whether you can access the volume or snapshot from multiple iSCSI initiators. Table 129. Define iSCSI Access Points Field Description Shortcut What kind of access type do you want for this volume? Copy access controls from another volume Displays the options for copying access controls from another volume Alt+P Select or define access Displays the options for defining or selecting an already existing access control control policies policy Alt+L Define one or more basic access points Displays the options for defining one or several basic access points Alt+F None (do not allow access) Denies access to the volume Alt+E Do you want to allow simultaneous access to this volume from more than one iSCSI initiator? Yes Allows multiple hosts access to the volume. In a shared storage environment, you Alt+S must control computer access to iSCSI targets (volumes and snapshots), because multiple computers writing to a target in an uncoordinated manner might result in volume corruption.Some environments might need multihost access to a target. You can enable multihost access to a target if you meet any of the following conditions: • Your cluster environment gives the initiators on each cluster computer a different IQN, and the environment can manage multiple connections to a target. For example, the environment uses a Distributed Lock Manager or SCSI reservations. • Your multipathing solution does not use the same IQN on all initiators, and you cannot modify the names to be the same. • You use an environment, such as a virtual server, that can manage multiple connections to the same iSCSI target (for example, through SCSI reservations). • Initiators on a single computer do not use the same IQN. No Does not allow simultaneous access to the volume Alt+O NOTE: The following table shows the individual options displayed when each different access type is selected in the iSCSI access window.
