iSCSI Services Screen

The iSCSI screen displays settings to configure iSCSI block shares.

About the Block (iSCSI) Sharing Protocol

Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) represents standards for using Internet-based protocols for linking binary data storage device aggregations. IBM and Cisco submitted the draft standards in March 2000. Since then, iSCSI has seen widespread adoption into enterprise IT environments.

iSCSI functions through encapsulation. The Open Systems Interconnection Model (OSI) encapsulates SCSI commands and storage data within the session stack. The OSI further encapsulates the session stack within the transport stack, the transport stack within the network stack, and the network stack within the data stack. Transmitting data this way permits block-level access to storage devices over LANs, WANs, and even the Internet itself (although performance clould suffer if your data traffic is traversing the Internet).
