Now you can start to create iSCSI targets to join the newly-created iSCSI

thin-provision volume. Basically, the iSCSI target under iSCSI thin-provisioning has

exactly same settings screen as the standard iSCSI target volume creation. The only

difference is the “Virtual Size” of capacity.

Unlike creating standard iSCSI target volumes, the capacity has been physically

allocated. The iSCSI target volume creation under thin-provisioning can virtually be

up to 16000GB (16TB).

Let’s take the example below:

1. The physical size for the iSCSI thin-provision volume is 333.88GB. You can refer

the screenshot above.

2. The iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning starts with 333.38GB in

physical size and you may use drag the Virtual Size bar to select the desired

virtual size. The maximum virtual size is 16000GB.

3. In this case, if you make the iSCSI target volume 1700GB, then the virtual size

is available for the next iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning is 14300GB

(16000-1700).

4. The limit is 5 iSCSI target volumes under thin-provisioning or a virtual size of

16000GB.

iSCSI Thin-provision physical size starts with 333.8GB

The virtual capacity is limited to 16000GB
