iSCSI Access Control

Two methods of access control are available for iSCSI devices. Depending on the initiator mode used to 
present the iSCSI hosts in the Fibre Channel fabric, either or both of the access control methods can be 
used.

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1076003"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Fiber Channel zoning-based access control&#8212;Fibre Channel zoning has been extended to support 
iSCSI devices, and this extension has the advantage of having a uniform, flexible access control 
mechanism across the whole SAN. In the case of iSCSI, multiple iSCSI devices may be connected 
behind an iSCSI interface. Interface-based zoning may not be useful because all iSCSI devices 
behind the interface will automatically be within the same zone.
</li>
<a name="wp1076006"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">iSCSI ACL-based access control&#8212;iSCSI-based access control is applicable only if static iSCSI 
virtual targets are created. For a static iSCSI target, you can configure a list of iSCSI initiators that 
are allowed to access the targets. By default, static iSCSI virtual targets are not accessible to any 
iSCSI host.
