Now you can start to create iSCSI targets to join the newly-created iSCSI
thin-provision volume. Basically, the iSCSI target under iSCSI thin-provisioning has
exactly same settings screen as the standard iSCSI target volume creation. The only
difference is the “Virtual Size” of capacity.
Unlike creating standard iSCSI target volumes, the capacity has been physically
allocated. The iSCSI target volume creation under thin-provisioning can virtually be
up to 16000GB (16TB).
Let’s take the example below:
1. The physical size for the iSCSI thin-provision volume is 333.88GB. You can refer
the screenshot above.
2. The iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning starts with 333.38GB in
physical size and you may use drag the Virtual Size bar to select the desired
virtual size. The maximum virtual size is 16000GB.
3. In this case, if you make the iSCSI target volume 1700GB, then the virtual size
is available for the next iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning is 14300GB
(16000-1700).
4. The limit is 5 iSCSI target volumes under thin-provisioning or a virtual size of
16000GB.
iSCSI Thin-provision physical size starts with 333.8GB
The virtual capacity is limited to 16000GB
