iSCSI Management

iSCSI Management deals with all iSCSI settings and functions with the exception of network connections and settings. This feature appears only with VTrak iSCSI models. Network connections and settings are discussed under “Network Management” on page 191.

Node

These functions affect both VTrak iSCSI ports. There are more iSCSI settings under iSNS Ports, SLP Ports and CHAP.
