• Create Snapshot—You can take a snapshot of the virtual disk contents at
any given instance.
• Disk Access—Mount Read/Write (Provision of Read/Write access of the

system. Mounted virtual disk appears as a local disk).
CAUTION: Before mounting the virtual disk, disconnect all iSCSI Targets using
the same virtual disk. Failure to do so can cause data corruption.

Multiple Connections per Session (MC/S). Currently, only the MPIO option is
supported with PowerVault NAS storage solution configured with 3.2 iSCSI Target
