Enable clustered access to

the iSCSI target from multiple

initiators

When enabled, multiple iSCSI initiators can access this target and its LUNs

simultaneously.

Warning

To prevent data corruption, the initiators and LUN

filesystems must all be cluster-aware.

CRC/Checksum

Initiators and targets communicate over TCP connections using iSCSI

protocol data units (PDU). The sending device can send a checksum with

each PDU. The receiving device uses this checksum to verify the integrity of

the PDU, which is useful in unreliable network environments. There are two

checksum types, which can be enabled separately.

• Data Digest: The checksum can be used to verify the data portion of

the PDU.

• Header Digest: The checksum can be used to verify the header portion

of the PDU.
