One interesting note about Synology DiskStation level NAS/SAN servers (at least for the ds216 series) is that their configuration has an expliciit "allow/disallow multiple connections" for each defined Target so multiple connections to the same available Target can be managed at the iSCSI server level. I mentioned that when using globalSAN that it automatically discovers ALL available iSCSI Targets and presents them in its Preferences interface - and - that users need to manually select which one to use - and - be very careful to choose the correct one. Whilst I cannot find iSANmp on the SNS web site, a 3rd party offering for it listed a $199 price - way more than for globalSAN ($89). SANmp and Xsan are FiberChannel based applications whereas globalSAN/iSANmp are ethernet based. Read and understand all of the requirements and implications before using. This process requires booting from Recovery OS. One from GitHub, "iscsi-osx/iSCSIinitiator", (free) requires disabling System Integrity Protection as their application is not (Apple) signed. There are some others which if you look at Internet postings are somewhat questionable as to use/currenency. Haven't used it because of cost didn't find any "trial version" availableĭocumentation implies more extensive options Make sure that you have the correct/allowed Target before proceeding!
Initial connection to selected target may automatically bring up "diskutil" to "allow" you to format the Target Synology Target is attached as a Volume (which you name in Preferences) Initiator currently doesn't have any SMART smarts if you use "smartctl"ĬLI ("gsutil") is located in "/opt/local/bin" which may require PATH settings if used often enoughĬLI is NOT required to perform the iSCSI attachment procedures, but allows (advanced) users more options onĪ "How to use iSCSI Targets on Mac computers" pseudo-guide from Synology is available (note that OS X Such as "iscsiadm" (Linux V6, Solaris V1) Works out of Preferences can select "auto-connect" but is not required best to eject before shutdownĬLI support is OK, somewhat limited when compared to Open-SCSI related utiliity implementations GUI automatically performs iscsi discovery once the SAN/Target server is definedīe sure that you select only the specific target(s) that you are supposed/allowed to use as some Targetsĭiscovered may be used/in use by other iSCSI clients (Initiators)
