Working with iSCSI Targets

iSCSI is a popular storage area network (SAN) protocol, allowing organizations to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays while providing hosts (such as database and web servers) with the illusion of locally-attached disks.

You can define SAN volumes, which are unformatted volumes (also called "Raw"). In order for users to access a SAN volume, an iSCSI target should be defined for this volume. The SAN volume will then appear as if it were a physical disk on the user's PC or server and can be formatted remotely.
