4.3 iSCSI Space Allocation
The MaxNAS R8 has the ability to create special volumes for use via iSCSI. iSCSI volumes are logical block devices that appear to an attached host as if they were locally attached SCSI devices- For more information regarding iSCSI please visit the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3720. You may create, modify and delete existing iSCSI target volumes by navigating to “Storage”

6.Set the current year and month.
7.Set a unique LUN ID. Each iSCSI volume on the MaxNAS R8 must have a unique LUN ID number. The menu will automatically increment the LUN ID for each new volume created.
8.If you wish to enable CHAP authentication you can do so under “Authentication” and assign a user name and password here. CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is a standard security mechanism used by iSCSI to ensure authenticated access
