3.3.10 Export
This media utility allows the user to export any source, accessory, or destination
drive as an iSCSI target in read-only mode. This makes the drive available to be read
by a remote user on any IP-based network via the Ethernet connection on the rear of
TX1, which can be useful for evidence file transfer purposes.
Note: TX1 exports iSCSI targets as read only. This ensures that TX1 maintains
control of the evidence data it writes to the exported destination drives. This
also ensures that any and all data that TX1 may require for things like
resuming a paused/failed job will be available when needed.
During the export process, TX1 will assign a unique IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) to
each exported drive. This IQN is used by the remote initiator to gain access to the
exported media. The following is an example of an IQN produced by TX1 from
exportation of a locally connected SATA drive: iqn.2015-10.com.
guid:sn-000ecc5801000c.sata.1.
The breakdown of this number is as follows:
Number Portion Description
iqn.2015-10.com.guid: Base identification number/domain for all Tableau
products (as provided by the iSCSI naming
authority).
sn-000ecc5801000c. The serial number of the specific TX1 in use, which
serves as a unique identifier within the domain.
sata.1 TX1 specific suffix. The default is the protocol of the
drive being exported with an incrementing number
at the end. However, the user can edit this portion
of the IQN via the optional Suffix entry field on the
iSCSI Export setup screen (as shown below).
If successful, the final exported IQN is provided along with a listing of any initiator
limits (IP address and/or IQN values). The IQN of the exported drive should then be
available for selection via the Discovery function of an initiator on that same
network.
