perform disk-scanning before taking such actions as creating a volume, expanding a volume,
migrating data or assigning a hot-spare disks. If disk auto-scanning is enabled, the NAS server
can scan disks automatically when you perform these actions. If the hard disks have ever been
scanned in the last 30 days, the auto-scanning will be skipped so that the auto-scanning will not be
activated too often.
To enable the feature, please click the Configure hyperlink on the Volume→Scan page. Set the
Disk Auto-scanning item to Enabled.
5.7 iSCSI (IP SAN)
iSCSI, (Internet Small Computer System Interface), an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage
networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By carrying SCSI commands over IP
networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long
distances. iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area
networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
