iSCSI Thin-Provisioning
An advanced thin-provisioning for iSCSI feature is available in this firmware release.
With this function, the iSCSI capacity can be more flexible and more efficiently serve
more users.
The idea for iSCSI thin-provisioning is sharing the available physical capacity to a
number of iSCSI target volumes and also setup virtual capacity to expand the
physical size while it needed.
To setup iSCSI thin-provisioning, go to Space Allocation under the Storage
category. The iSCSI thin-provisioning volume needs to be created first. Simply click
iSCSI Thin-Provision Target. You can refer the screen shot below.
Next, setup the physical capacity for iSCSI thin-provision volume by dragging the
Allocation bar to the desired size.
After the size has been determined, click OK to confirm. Now you will see the iSCSI
thin-provisioning volume is available from the list. Please refer to the screenshot
below.
