iSCSI Target
+ +This module allows you to export disk devices to other systems over the network +using the iSCSI protocol. Each exported disk is called a target, and +existing targets are listing on the module's main page. To create a new target, +click the Add a new iSCSI target button, enter a name, and select the +disk device or file to be exported.

+ +Logins and passwords required from clients can either be set on a per-target +basis, or for all targets on the Authentication Settings page. The iSCSI +protocol also allows targets to authenticate themselves to clients (also known +as initiators).

+ +Global settings related to packet sizes and the iSCSI protocol can be changed +on the Connection Settings page. Timeouts for communication with clients +can be changed on the Timeout Settings page.

+ +By default, any client with a valid login can connect to your exported targets. +However, you can limit the IPs clients can connect from using the Allowed Client Addresses page. Alternately, you can restrict the IPs on the server that +clients can connect to using the Allowed Server Addresses page.

+ +At the bottom of the module's main page are buttons to stop, start and restart +the iSCSI server. Configuration changes will not be applied until the server +is restarted.
