Do not connect more thanone iSCSI initiator at a time to an iSCSI drive.Attempting to connect two iSCSI initiators to the same iSCSI drive at the same time may result indata corruption or drive damage. The px2-300d Management Console prevents you fromconnecting two iSCSI initiators to the same iSCSI drive at the same time, but if you connect to aniSCSI drive using native tools, you may encounter this issue.
