iSCSI access from multiple PCs & remotely

[victorhortalive]

Basic question about iSCSI please :

If I setup an iSCSI share on my ReadyNAS can I access this from any PC, even remotely, or must it be dedicated to just one PC ?

Thanks.

Short answer: You can only have 1 computer connected to an iSCSI target.
Long answer: You can setup iSCSI to be read by multiple computers, but the superblocks will be overwritten by the last one that writes. To fix this, you need persistent reservation and clustering (not on the ReadyNAS).

Do note that the answer above relates to multiple simultaneous requests. Using and iSCSI target with multiple computers is not a problem at all, but you need to only have one initiator connected at a time.
