The name convention for iSCSI LUNs is usually as follows but a vendor can change it at will, it's a convention not a requirement.
 
Below how the name comes together, the parts are connected by dots, the lun name is separated by a colon.
 
fixed data: iqn -> iqn<br>
date the LUN was created: year-month -> 2012-02<br>
your domainname inverted: domain.your -> com.home<br>
the LUN name: this is what the vendor usually provides -> lun1<br>
 
so that would make the following target:
iqn.2012-02.com.home:lun1
Start the iSCSI target daemon and make sure it starts at boot time:

quick how-to for connecting to iSCSI storage (implies that iscsi-initiator-utils are installed!):
Create LVM stuff if you want to, otherwise create the filesystem as you would normally do
The name convention ''Mac OSX'' I installed [http://www.studionetworksolutions.com/products/product_detail.php?pi=11 globalSAN iSCSI Initiator] for OS X by Studio Network Solutions (free community supported) iSCSI LUNs is usually as follows but a vendor can change it at will, it's a convention not a requirementclient for OS X) on the Mac.
Below how I configured it to "see" the name comes together, iSCSI lun (just type in the parts are connected by dots, iqn IIRC); since it's presented to the lun name is separated by OS as a colon. fixed data: iqn -> iqn<br>date normal disk you need to partition the LUN was created: year-month -> 2012-02<br>your domainname inverted: domain.your -> com.home<br>drive first (it's a blank disk as far as the LUN name: this Mac is what the vendor usually provides -> lun1<br> so concerned). Then configure Time Machine to use that would make the following target:iqn.2012-02.com.home:lun1disk and you're done!
For the Apple iMac I installed [http://www.studionetworksolutions.com/products/product_detail.php?pi=11 globalSAN iSCSI Initiator] for OS X by Studio Network Solutions (free community supported) iSCSI client for OS X) on the Mac.''Windows''
I configured it to "see" the iSCSI lun (just type in the iqn IIRC); since it's presented to the OS as a normal disk you need ll leave that to partition the drive first (it's a blank disk as far as the Mac is concerned)someone else. Then configure Time Machine to use that disk and you're done!
