Creating iSCSI Target Accounts
OpenEye recommends creating a separate volume for each recorder on your system. The size of each
volume is dependent on the recording needs of each recorder. Repeat these steps as necessary to
create the appropriate number of volumes in the appropriate sizes for your needs.
1. Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Microsoft iSCSI Software Target.
2. Click Yes.
3. Right-click in the Virtual Disk field, and then click Create iSCSI Target.
4. This will open the iSCSI Target Wizard. Click Next to continue.
5. Type your iSCSI Target Name.
Note The iSCSI Target Name must consist of lowercase letters and numbers only. No spaces,
special characters, or underscores are to be used. For example: n1.3, meaning “NVR1 with
3TB storage.”
6. Type an effective description of the target.
7. Type the IP Address of the recorder you are assigning to this volume in the IQN field, and then click
Next.
Note The iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) allows the iSCSI target to identify the iSCSI initiator
requesting access. OpenEye recommends using the IP address of the connecting recorder,
but you can also use the MAC address or DNS name.
8. Click Next, and then click Finish.
