About Veritas Access as an iSCSI target

Veritas Access as an iSCSI target is introduced for RHEL 7. 3 and 7.4 in this release. This feature enables a Veritas Access cluster to serve block storage. Through the use of multiple portal IPs, an iSCSI target can be served in active-active fashion.

This enables the block storage to be capable of supporting multi-pathing at the initiator end. Veritas Access eases provisioning of block storage with the functionality to resize, clone, and snapshot the LUNs, ACL controls such as initiator mapping and user management.

Veritas Access as an iSCSI target supports VMware version 5.5.0 as an initiator.

You can perform the following functions on an iSCSI target:

• Start , stop, and check status of an iSCSI target service

• Create, destroy, check status, and list iSCSI targets and add and delete multiple portal addresses

• Add, delete, resize, manage, grow, shrink LUNs and clone LUNs snapshots

• Map and remove mapping of iSCSI initiators

• Add and delete users to set up CHAP authentication

• Support for multiple portal IPs per target makes the targets active-active

Veritas Access as an iSCSI target is a technical preview feature for RHEL 6.x in this release.
