iSCSI Client
+ +This module allows you to access disk devices shared using the iSCSI protocol +by other systems on your network. Once a device has been connnected, it can +be partitioned, mounted or used for RAID or LVM just like a locally attached +disk.

+ +If the iSCSI server you plan to access requires authentication, first visit +the Authentication Options page to set a username and password to be +used for subsequent connections.

+ +To attach a new device, go to the iSCSI Connections page and enter the +hostname or IP of the iSCSI server in the form at the bottom of the page. +Webmin will fetch available target devices from the specified server, and allow +you to select one or all to connect. Assuming that connection completes +successfully, a local SCSI device like /dev/sdb will be created and +made available in the Partitions on Local Disks and Disk and Network +Filesystems modules.

+ +Existing connections can be removed by checking the box next to their entries +on the iSCSI Connections page, and clicking the Disconnect button. +Removing a connection that is currently mounted or used in a RAID or LVM volume +is not recommended.
