Using the TeraStation as an iSCSI Device
Introduction
iSCSI is a protocol for carrying SCSI commands over IP networks. Unlike traditional SAN protocols such as fibre channel,
which requires special-purpose cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network infrastructure.
Normal Windows formatting such as NTFS is supported.
Differences Between NAS and iSCSI
With iSCSI, the TeraStation is connected to a single computer, such as a server. Other computers on the network access
files on the TeraStation through the computer it’s connected to. The TeraStation can be used as a local drive from
Windows Server. Features of Windows Server such as Active Directory can be used normally.
As a NAS, the TeraStation is a server, and computers (including other servers) on the network can access shared folders
on it directly. A separate server is not required, and features such as backup are built-in.
Network Configuration
Use gigabit or faster network equipment with iSCSI. For best results, a dedicated network for iSCSI is recommended,
separate from the regular network. Use fixed IP addresses for storage devices such as the TeraStation.
Advanced iSCSI Settings
Advanced settings for iSCSI are available in Settings. Navigate to Drives - iSCSI and click on your volume name. Advanced
Settings will be at the bottom left of the window. The default values for each of these settings are recommended for
most users.
Install the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003
Before using iSCSI equipment with Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, download and install the “Microsoft iSCSI
Software Initiator.
1 Go to http://www.microsoft.com.
2 Search for “Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator”.
3 Download the latest version of the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator.
4 When the download is complete, double-click on the installer. Check the “Initiator Service and “Software Initiator
checkboxes.
5 Step through the wizard to install.
