(HELP) Need some instructions for iSCSI

    Hy!! I'm a new user, and I'm exploring the world of openmediavault because i'm considering tu build a little server with omv on it, so i'm trying omv on virtual machine, everything works fine and the sistem is really stable and fast, so i installed the iSCSI target that interests me. I'm able to create a shared hard drive but i have some questions:
    1) How to set up the authentication, i'm able tu share teh disks with no authentication but when i set up an incoming or an outgoing password i don't know how to set up win 7 to connect to the drive (is ita a chap authentication?)
    2) when i share the same hd on 2 pc's i'm able to read and write files but if i erase some files on the iscsi drive on pc A i'm still able to see those files on the iscsi drive from pc B why that?


    Sorry for bad english i'm italian but i understand also german so if you want to answer in german no problem for me.
    Thank you!

    iSCSI should not be used for the 2 machines for the same disk, because you may experience errors and problems with files. Already a better use for this SMB (for windows and Linux) or NFS (for Linux)

    I know that the world does not expect the us to many. It is sufficient that you answer yourself a very important question: what I like to do in life, and then start to do it.

    Banana Pi + 16GB SD + 500GB - test platform omv 3.0.X - ARM - 3.4.104 kernel
    Banana PRO + 8GB SD + 320GB - test platform omv 30..X - ARM - 3.4.104 kernel

    iSCSI should be slightly faster. But iSCSI is dedicated as providing disk for one machine only.
    SMB is a good solution if the same resource is to use more than one computer.

    thank you for the good explanation!!
    Unfortunately i'm not able to set up any security option on iSCSI so i perfectly see the drives but i can connect to them with no use authentication... i thougt it would be easy to set up a chap authentication like on freenas or nas4free but i wasn't able to set it up because i only see outgoing and incoming authentication, so if i set up an authentication on the server i do not know how to set up the iSCSI initiator on windows, i know how to change my "user" but i don't know wher i have to set the password

    Never use iSCSI at home so I do not know how it looks like a case of collateral. From what I see the access is by using passwords and usernames.

    You should be able to connect as many machines as you want to it - as long as you're using a clustering filesystem like ocfs2 or vmfs (like on VMware).
