KERNSAFE - iSCSI SAN Software and Storage Virtualization

The generic SCSI device can be any SCSI device on the server machine, includes physical disk, physical optical device, USB storage and SCSI scanner an so on. KernSafe iSCSI SAN can export these devices to iSCSI devices so all the client machines in the network can share the device without physically moving the device to their own desk. All the commands and operations send to the generic SCSI device will be transferred to the KernSafe iSCSI SAN. The device will work just like it is attached to the user’s local environment.

Creating A Generic SCSI Device

Follow the steps below to create a SCSI device:

Step 1. Select Service-> Create Target from the Storage pop-up menu on the main interface of KernSafe iSCSI SAN.

Choose Generic SCSI in the Device Type group.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 2. Select the physical SCSI device in the KernSafe iSCSI SAN.

Select a device to be created as an iSCSI device.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 3. Set the Authorization Mode.

Select an authorization mode, if you don't know how to do it, you can see the topic Authorization Mechanism.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 4. Enter the Target Name.

Press the Finish button to complete iSCSI target creation.

Note: We recommend you to modify registry settings because some of SCSI devices have transfer size limit. The settings are as follows:

Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Parameters
Set the following registry values to 65536:

• FirstBurstLength
• MaxBurstLength
• MaxRecvDataSegmentLength
• MaxTransferLength

The sub-key 0000 may be 0001, 0002 etc, please check the DriverDesc value (Should be Microsoft iSCSI Initiator).
