Targets are created in order to manage the connections between the iSCSI storage subsystems in your SAN and the servers that need to access them. You assign LUNs to a target, and all servers that log on to that target will have access to the LUNs assigned to it.
When you configure a target, you select the portals (network connections) that the target will provide for LUN access.
Note
In most cases, you can create and manage targets yourself. However, some iSCSI storage subsystems only support simple target configurations, where targets are automatically created when you create a LUN. With simple target configurations, you also cannot delete a target or manually assign LUNs to it. LUNs are automatically assigned when they are created. For this type of subsystem, you just need to identify the server or cluster that will access the LUN, and the iSCSI subsystem will enable access from that server or cluster to the LUN.
In LUN Management, click Manage iSCSI Targets.
In the subsystem drop-down list, select the iSCSI storage subsystem for which you want to configure a target.
To create a target on the selected subsystem, click Add.
In the Add Target dialog box, type a friendly name for the target. A separate iSCSI name will be automatically assigned.
In the list of available portals, select all portals that you want to enable for LUN access, and then click OK.
The Manage iSCSI Targets dialog box shows the new target, with the portals that you enabled listed at the bottom.
To configure more targets, go back to step 2.
When you are finished configuring targets, click OK.
