ISCSI on OS X and GlobalSAN initiator Hi ALL, I'm trying to access an iSCSI target using Mac OS X and and Global SAN iSCSI initiator, the target is a windows 2008 R2 iSCSI target. GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator is a network protocol standard that enables the transport of block-level I/O over TCP/IP. When deployed over a Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet network, an iSCSI-based.
Studio Network Solutions (SNS) has released its for Mac OS X for free. It’s available for download. ISCSI is a network protocol designed to link storage devices over a network — SCSI commands are carried over TCP/IP-based networks. SNS claims that when iSCSI is deployed over a Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet network an iSCSI-based Storage Area Network (SAN) can achieve results similar to a Fibre Channel SAN at less cost. Such systems are frequently used in digital video and other applications where high-speed shared storage is a must. The initiator is a software application required by each computer, used to access the networked iSCSI storage system. “Although an initiator is freely available for most major operating systems, an iSCSI initiator is not shipped with Apple’s Mac OS X,” said SNS in a statement.
There are no limits, timing restrictions or feature locks on the software. SNS said it’s releasing the initiator for any Mac user who wants to take advantage of iSCSI. SNS’s other products include globalSAN systems — Ethernet-based shared storage that fits into a standard rack mount and can accommodate from four to 24 500GB SATA hard disk drive mechanisms. The version 3.0 release is a Universal binary that runs natively on Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. It includes support for the authentication system CHAP, persistent targets, SLPv2 and multiple connections per session. This story, 'iSCSI Initiator available for free' was originally published.
ISCSI is a network storage protocol that allows sending and receiving of SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network. This allows you to leverage Ethernet, a low cost network medium to get SAN performance and network based storage. While you can use pretty much any Ethernet switch, I’d recommend that if you’re going to use iSCSI that you dedicate a switch to it, or use quality switches and build a dedicated VLAN for your iSCSI traffic. Recently, I’ve recently been seeing a lot of traffic about whether or not you can use iSCSI with Mac OS X.
The answer, yes. As with Xsan, to get started with iSCSI you’ll need an initiator and a target. Studio Network Solutions (SNS) provides a software-based iSCSI initiator called globalSAN that can be downloaded and used free of charge from. Alternatively you can also look into the, which runs about $200 for 1 user with volumes discount slashing the prices to about $90 for 100 users. Software based initiators will use the CPU of your system and a built-in or third party standard Ethernet port, but you can also buy a dedicated card which will offload the processing power to the card, which in some cases will be required for various performance reasons.
For the purpose of this article we’re going to use the SNS globalSAN software. For the purposes of this howto, we’re using the free version of software called. However, we’ve also tested LeftHand, Isilon, OpenFiler, iSCSI Target (from Microsoft) and many others (including dozens of appliances) with the Mac. So for starters, fire up your iSCSI storage and share it out. Next, extract the installer as seen in the globalSAN installer screenshot.
GlobalSAN Installer Next, launch the installer and click on the Continue button at the Welcome screen. GlobalSAN Welcome Screen At the Software License Agreement screen, read the licensing agreement and then click on the Continue button if you agree to the terms. GlobalSAN License Agreement Screen At the uninstall screen, click on continue. If you later need to uninstall the software you would re-run this installer and click on the Uninstall button. GlobalSAN Uninstall Screen At the Standard Install screen you can click on the Custom Install button to allow you to choose which packages within the metapackage to install.
