storage into different iSCSI nodes within the iPBridge,
with each iSCSI target having its own set of access
criteria.
For example, if you have two servers and a library with
four tapes and a media changer, the default node
would provide both servers access to all tapes and the
media changer (default target mode).
If you configured multiple target nodes, you are able to
map some devices to one server and other devices to
the other server, requiring separate user names and
passwords for access using various methods including
Access Control Lists, iSNS and CHAP authentication.
Consult with your network administrator and refer to
Note
If you map actual storage to more than one
iSCSI target and a server has authorization for
both targets, the server could show duplicate
storage without any warning.
