	Provisioning iSCSI Storage Volumes from Ceph based Storage Pools is identical to the process used for ZFS based Storage Pools. You can use the Create Storage Volume dialog from the main '''Storage Management''' tab and select the pool to provision from. Note that the iSCSI initiator (VMware, Linux, Windows, etc) must be configured login to a QuantaStor network port (target port) IP address on each system associated with the Ceph Cluster that the RBD is a member of so that there are multiple paths to the storage. If only a single system connection is made there will be no automatic fail-over in the event of an outage.
