iSCSI connections on Core 2008
Setup is easy, initial config is pretty straight forward even without Core configurator(shame Guy had to take it down) , adding roles not much to it. Here is theĀ Technet articalĀ that got me off the ground. The remote management MMC snap-ins work actually well for VDS management and Firewall rule sets. But the iSCSIcli commands stumped me for a minute. I had the TargerPortals successfully added and could successfully ListTargets. I know the iscsi initiator was added from the LUN and correctly mapped over from the Net App Fas3020. But here is the iscsicli syntax that was throwing me off in bold. And yes T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 0 is correct.
iscsicli QAddTargetPortal <Portal IP Address>
iscsicli ListTargets
iscsicli QloginTarget <target_iqn>
iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget <target_iqn> T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 0
iscsicli ListPersistentTargets
iscsicli ReportTargetMappings
