46 Detailed End-to-End iSCSI Setup

After making necessary changes, click

NOTICE: Although you do not change the default settings, go to Volume→

Properties→ Shadow Copies→ Settings and click OK. Perform this action especially

in a PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution to ensure proper Snapshot recovery in the

event of cluster node failure. Active snapshots may be lost on account of a cluster

node failure, if you do not have enough space or if you have not configured the

Snapshots properly. When the Snapshot size exceeds the maximum size of the

storage area, the oldest snapshot is deleted.

NOTE: Each volume can have up to 512 snapshots for iSCSI Virtual Disks,

irrespective of the number of Virtual Disks created in the volume. Snapshots are

space efficient because they are differential copies.
