Figure 57. Identities Coupled with Targets

In Figure 57, Identity A is coupled with both Targets 1 and 2. Identity B is coupled with Target 3. Identity C is coupled with Target 4. As a result, each iSCSI initiator has access to the following volumes:

ISCSI INITIATOR	VOLUMES ACCESSIBLE
WWUI1	fVOL1	fVOL2	fVOL3
WWUI2	fVOL1	fVOL2	fVOL3
WWUI3	fVOL4
WWUI4	fVOL4
WWUI5	fVOL1	fVOL2	fVOL3
WWUI6	fVOL4
WWUI7	fVOL4
WWUI8	fVOL1	fVOL2	fVOL3	fVOL4
WWUI9	fVOL4
WWUI10	fVOL5	fVOL6

Access Rights

The creation of an identity limits the iSCSI initiators able to access an iSCSI target and its underlying volumes. Now, you want to define the access rights for each identity-target pair. When you couple an identity and target, you assign access rights: read-write (RW), read-only (RO) or not accessible (NA). The access rights are per identity-target pair. An identity can be coupled with multiple targets, each time with different access rights. As well, a target can have multiple identities, each with different access rights.
