iSCSI Virtual Target Configuration Examples
This section provides three examples of iSCSI virtual target configurations.
Example 1
This example assigns the whole Fibre Channel target as an iSCSI virtual target. All LUNs that are part
of the Fibre Channel target are available as part of the iSCSI target (see

Example 2
This example maps a subset of LUNs of a Fibre Channel target to three iSCSI virtual targets. Each iSCSI
target only has one LUN (see
