I’ve been able to achieve this by a two step process. a) Move the target VM to a ‘staging’…

Configuring Windows Server 2012 as an iSCSI Target SAN in a Two Host Failover Cluster Part 5
As it turns out, I already have two Virtual machines running on one of the cluster nodes. I set these up before the cluster creation. The VMs are currently not cluster roles/resources. I will go ahead and make one of the VMs (WK7) a cluster role by adding it to the cluster. PS C:\> Get-VM…

Configuring Windows Server 2012 as an iSCSI Target SAN in a Two Host Failover Cluster Part 4
Here we go over my steps for the actual cluster creation, cluster and node validation, quorum setup and cluster shared volume configuration.We have by running a cluster validation on each node. This can be achieved with the following cmdlets: Test-Cluster -Node hyperv01 Test-Cluster -Node hyperv03 In this case, the test passed. The process basically gives…

Configuring Windows Server 2012 as an iSCSI Target SAN in a Two Host Failover Cluster Part 3
In the next part of the series, we will create a simple 1GB iSCSI virtual disk, assign it to the already configured target and verify the disk is visible to the iSCSI initiators. New-IscsiVirtualDisk -Description “Witness Disk” -Path g:\iscsivirtualdisks\Witness00.vhd -Size 1GB -ComputerName labtarget -Verbose (Create the 1GB iSCSI virtual disk) Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping -TargetName Target00 -Path g:\iscsivirtualdisks\Witness00.vhd…
