GlobalSAN – The iSCSI Initiator for macOS/OS X The globalSAN® iSCSI Initiator enables Mac computers to connect to practically any iSCSI storage target, using standard GbE or 10GbE hardware. ISCSI is a network protocol standard that enables the transport of block-level I/O over TCP/IP. GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator for Mac OS/X v. 4 has been released As I told you in another blog post, I'm using GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator for Mac OS/X to remotely connect to my time machine disk, which happens to be a ZFS volume managed by a Solaris host.
Here I will provide successfully solution how to make Backup disk for Mac OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' over iSCSI LUN from NetAPP.

Following this instruction:
1) downloading iSCSI initialization for Mac OS X 10.5x
globalSAN_3.3.0.43.dmg.zip
2) Unzip and mount it by diskutil and install 'globalSAN iSCSI 3.3.0 Installer.mpkg' by double click, following the installation instruction at the end is necessary to rebook Mac for installing iSCSI kernel extension.
3) After Mac restarted, open 'System Preferences' – > 'globalSAN iSCSI' ( in Studio Network solutions ).
4) goto to preferences tab and copy the 'Initiator Name'. Example: ' iqn.2005-03.com.sns:mac-osx-mac-pro'
5) Now connecting to the NetApp command line interface and execute bellow commands:
netapp01> lun create -s 500g -t windows_gpt /vol/smaccel/macosxlun
lun create: created a LUN of size: 500.1g (536952700928)
Comment: here important to show Lun file system type as windows_gpt, all others Mac will not understand

netapp01> iscsi security add -i iqn.2005-03.com.sns:mac-osx-mac-pro -s CHAP -p maciscsipassword -n maciscsiuser
Comment: maciscsiuser and maciscsipassword are CAHP username and password for iSCSI authentication
6) Now in Mac -> System Preferences->globalSAN iSCSI in Portals tab we must insert IP address of NetApp storage with created iSCSI LUN
7) After it – go to Targets tab , select IP of NetApp an click at 'Modify' button.
8 ) Check CHAP authentication box and write created username and password, press 'Connect'
9) At 'Sessions' tab select netapp initiator and press 'info'. At button you must see NetApp disk info
If your iSCIS LUN not ready partitioned from Mac OS – after login in to initiator, the Diskutil will automated asked you to initialize new founded RAW partitioned disk.
10) in Diskutils create new one partition 'Mac OS Extended Journaled' with GUID Partition Table.
11) In Time Machine preferences select new iSCSI mounted Disk and switch it On

globalSAN – The iSCSI Initiator for macOS/OS X
The globalSAN® iSCSI Initiator enables Mac computers to connect to practically any iSCSI storage target, using standard GbE or 10GbE hardware.
iSCSI is a network protocol standard that enables the transport of block-level I/O over TCP/IP. One major advantage of iSCSI is that it can work over your existing Ethernet infrastructure. Depending on the speed of your network, an iSCSI-based storage area network (SAN) can rival the performance of a Fibre Channel SAN, and can cost far less to implement.
In an iSCSI SAN, an initiator is needed on each computer that requires access to the networked storage. An initiator is not included with the purchase of a Mac, so we created globalSAN to bring iSCSI to your Mac.
To get the globalSAN initiator, select an option on the right or use an SNS storage system…
