KERNSAFE - iSCSI SAN Software and Storage Virtualization

A CDP linked target allows you to present an earlier point-in-time view of an existing CDP data set. This is useful when you need to expose historical data without restoring the original protected target.

Creating CDP Linked Target Device

Follow the steps below to create a CDP Linked Target device:

Step 1. Click New on the toolbar to open the Create iSCSI Target wizard.

Choose Advanced Device in the device type group.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 2. Select CDP Linked Target Device in the iSCSI advanced device window.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 3. Configure the CDP parameters.

Choose the base target from the existing CDP targets.

In Time Point, select the exact point in time that you want to expose. The linked target will present the data that existed in the base target at that moment.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 4. Finish Creating iSCSI Target

Enter the target name.

Select an authorization mode. If you need more information, see Authorization Mechanism.

Global Authorization: The target inherits CHAP and IP filter settings from the global configuration. If this option is cleared, the target uses its own authorization settings.

Concurrent Access: Allows multiple initiators to access the target concurrently when the workload supports shared access.

Report Readonly: Reports the target as read-only when the initiator does not have write permission.

Click Finish to complete target creation.
