AWS Storage Gateway - Connecting to VTL Devices

AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Connecting to VTL Devices
You can now initialize and format this storage volume for Windows so you can begin saving data on it.
You do this by using the Windows Disk Management tool.
Note
Although it is not required for this exercise, we highly recommend that you customize your
iSCSI settings for a real-world application as discussed in Customizing Your Windows iSCSI
Settings (p. 374).
Connecting Your VTL Devices to a Windows client
A tape gateway exposes several tape drives and a media changer, referred to collectively as VTL devices,
as iSCSI targets. For more information, see Requirements (p. 10).
Note
You connect only one application to each iSCSI target.
The following diagram highlights the iSCSI target in the larger picture of the AWS Storage Gateway
architecture. For more information on AWS Storage Gateway architecture, see Tape Gateways (p. 6).
To connect your Windows client to the VTL devices
1. On the Start menu of your Windows client computer, type iscsicpl.exe in the Search Programs
and files box, locate the iSCSI initiator program, and then run it.
