Assigning iSCSI server connections access to volumes
After you add an iSCSI server connection to your management group, you can assign one or more
volumes or snapshots to the server connection, giving the server access to those volumes or
snapshots.
CAUTION:
Without the use of shared storage access (host clustering or clustered file system)
technology, allowing more than one iSCSI application server to connect to a volume at the same
time, without cluster-aware applications and/or file systems in read/write mode, could result in
data corruption.
You can make the assignments in two ways:
•
“Assigning server iSCSI connections from a volume” (page 211)
•
“Assigning volumes from an iSCSI connection” (page 211)
Prerequisites
•
The server connections you want to assign must already exist in the management group. See
“Planning server connections to management groups” (page 203)
.
•
The volumes or snapshots you want to assign must already exist in the management group.
When you assign the server connections and volumes or snapshots, you set the permissions that
each server connection will have for each volume or snapshot. The available permissions are
described in
.
Table 68 Server connection permission levels
Allows This
Type of Access
Prevents the server from accessing the volume or snapshot.
No access
Restricts the server to read-only access to the data on the
volume or snapshot.
Read access
Allows the server read and write permissions to the volume.
Read/write access
NOTE:
Microsoft Windows requires read/write access to volumes.
