You can attach a Microsoft Windows host to the system by using iSCSI.
Ensure that you followed the steps for configuring
your system for iSCSI host attachment.
If you are running Windows Server
2008 or later, the Microsoft iSCSI
software initiator is preinstalled.
When you run the installation program for the initiator,
you see a list of components to install:- Initiator Service.
- Software Initiator.
- Microsoft MPIO Multipathing Support for iSCSI.
The first two options are required. Be sure that you select
them. MPIO support is useful if you have a redundant IP network configuration
and you want to protect your host I/O against network hardware failures.
Note: MPIO
support is not required to support online system maintenance such
as code updates due to IP failover between nodes
in the I/O groups.
After the installation completes, you are
prompted to restart the computer. Restart the computer before you
continue with the rest of the instructions. The iSCSI initiator
can now be configured from the iSCSI Initiator control panel.
