Accessing Virtuozzo Storage iSCSI Targets from Microsoft Hyper-V

Note: Names of the targets to be mounted must not contain underscore characters.

1. Make sure that Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service, MSiSCSI, is running.
2. Discover a new target portal. For example, for the portal 192.168.10.100, run:

   PS C:\Users\Administrator>new-iscsitargetportal -targetportaladdress 192.168.10.100

   Initiator Instance Name :

   Initiator Portal Address :

   IsDataDigest : False

   IsHeaderDigest : False

   TargetPortalAddress : 192.168.10.100

   TargetPortalPortNumber : 3260

   PSComputerName :

3. Connect to the desired target. For example, for the target iqn.2014-03.com.pstorage:test1

   PS C:\Users\Administrator> connect-iscsitarget

   cmdlet Connect-IscsiTarget at command pipeline position 1

   Supply values for the following parameters:

   NodeAddress: iqn.2014-04.com.pstorage:test1

   AuthenticationType : NONE

   InitiatorInstanceName : ROOT\ISCSIPRT\0000_0

   InitiatorNodeAddress : iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:win-l2dj7g36n7e.sw.swsoft.com

   InitiatorPortalAddress : 0.0.0.0

   InitiatorSideIdentifier : 400001370000

   IsConnected : True

   IsDataDigest : False

   IsDiscovered : True

   IsHeaderDigest : False

   IsPersistent : False

   NumberOfConnections : 1

   SessionIdentifier : ffffe00000b5e020-4000013700000005

   TargetNodeAddress : iqn.2014-04.com.pstorage:test1

   TargetSideIdentifier : 0001

   PSComputerName :

4. To check that the disk has been connected, run

   PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-disk
