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…

Configuring Windows Server 2012 as an iSCSI Target SAN in a Two Host Failover Cluster Part 1
We’re currently working on virtualizing a large number of our servers and going through the process of deciding whether to deploy a 3rd party SAN or WS 2012 iSCSI Target in production. In the meantime, I have gone ahead and deployed a basic iSCSI Target and Two host WS 2012 Failover cluster in the lab…
