2.5 Stackable iSCSI Host Service
The MaxNAS can aggregate up to 5
iSCSI targets and offer all networking
services to those targets, regardless of
where the storage is located physically.
To access the Stackable Host Service
control, navigate to “Storage” ->
“Stackable” and the Stack Target List
screen will appear. In this screen you
can add, edit existing or remove mount
points.

Add
to launch the Add new iSCSI Target
window, and enter the following values:
A. Target Sevice enable/disable
B. Target IP Address

The MaxNAS can detect the IQN
for most iSCSI initiators by clicking
Discovery .
D. Authorized username (for CHAP enabled iSCSI target)
E. Authorized password (for CHAP enabled iSCSI target)
