The initiator and target are identified to each other by iSCSI Names. The iSCSI Names
must be unique within the operational domain (networks encompassing the initiator and
target), and are designed to be unique worldwide. The iSCSI Name may be permanently
assigned to a hardware iSCSI device, or it may be constructed automatically as part of
the process of installing an iSCSI software driver. If the target includes multiple devices
(tape drives, libraries, etc.), each one has a unique iSCSI Name.

Once connected, iSCSI target devices are able to identify iSCSI initiators by iSCSI Name,
or alias (hostname), or IP address. The principal means of identification, however, is the
iSCSI Name.

The miSAN-V-Series is a remote iSCSI target device for iSCSI hosts, which are initiators.
If another iSCSI tape device is also on the network, you can configure the miSAN-V-
Series to use the device (See below). Before configuring the miSAN-V-Series to use
remote iSCSI tape devices, it must first be set up on the network (See earlier, “Network
Setup” on page 22). This makes the miSAN-V-Series visible to host iSCSI initiators on the
network, and thus available as an initiator for other iSCSI devices. Once configured for
network access, you can then configure the miSAN-V-Series to discover and use, as tar-
gets, other iSCSI tape devices.

To enable iSCSI communication on the miSAN-V Series, select
SCSI configuration >
Outgoing iSCSI connections to devices from the HSTC Options menu.
By default, iSCSI is disabled. You can choose to protect
iSCSI by password or “Open to everyone”

Remote iSCSI Target Device
Setup
The miSAN-V-Series can be configured to use remote
iSCSI tape devices as targets over the network. To con-
figure the miSAN-V-Series to use remote iSCSI tape
devices, connect to the miSAN-V-Series from a client
using a web browser at the factory default IP address
