3.3.10 Export
This media utility allows the user to securely export any source, accessory, or destination
drive as an iSCSI target. This makes the drive available to a remote user on any IP-
based network (LAN/WAN/internet) via the Ethernet connection on the rear of TX1.
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:
Base identification number/domain for all Tableau
products (as provided by the iSCSI naming authority).
The serial number of the specific TX1 in use, which
serves as a unique identifier within the domain.
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.
