KERNSAFE - iSCSI SAN Software and Storage Virtualization

Sometimes the data on the disk might be lost in some reason (i.e. hardware damage), we can make a backup for the target by creating a synchronous replication application. KernSafe iSCSI SAN provides RAID-1(mirror) feature enabling you to create two iSCSI devices for mirror backup. You can mirror target to a local file or remote iSCSI.

1. Create Synchronous Replication Application:

Step 1. Right click the Applications node on the left tree of the main window. From the pop-up menu tap the Create Application menu item.

Choose Synchronous Replication n the Application Type.

Press the Next button to continue.

Step 2. Select the location of the file where user wants to create the mirror

First, choose one target as the base target.

Image File - Browse a image file path to mirror to.
Remote iSCSI - Specify an iSCSI target as follows to mirror to.

If you want to mirror the remote iSCSI, select 'Remote iSCSI' and press the Edit button to specify the remote target.

After you input the host name and port of the remote iSCSI, press the Discovery button, it will show you all the targets on the remote iSCSI, select one and press the OK button.

If the target you choose has the CHAP authorization, you must provide the user name and secret to log on.

Then press the Next button to continue.

Step 3. Mirror Synchronization

To make the synchronous replication device has full synchronization form base iSCSI target select the 'Create mirror device with full synchronization from base iSCSI target', otherwise, select 'create mirror device without synchronization'.

Note: All data on the mirror device will be destroyed after synchronization.

Step 4. Complete Application Creation

If any change is required press the Back button, otherwise, press the Finish button to complete mirror application creation.
