You can add one or more iSCSI targets that provide storage blocks as logical unit numbers (LUNs). In mutual CHAP authentication, an extra level of security enables the initiator to authenticate the target. In CHAP authentication, the target authenticates the initiator, but the initiator does not authenticate the target. You can Change to Online Mode -> Initialize ->Format and start using the disk.

Navigate to Computer Management ->Disk Management, you will see newly added un-partitioned disk in offline mode. Īnd you can configure the MPIO policy from -> iSCSI Targets -> Properties – > MCS / devices optionsĪfter adding the of iSCSI target and enable MPIO you will be able see the devices from device manager and you can enable and configure the new iSCSI disk on windows. Also need to add another path ( ip of vmk of another host in vSAN cluster ).

If MPIO is enabled make sure you have selected “Add support for iSCSI devices”, if you enable this a Reboot is required for Windows Machine.

Īnother main thing if you need MPIO for iSCSI, this has to enabled if it is not listed under “Administrative Tools” ,you can enable the feature from Server Manager -> Add Roles and Features If you are using CHAP/Mutual CHAP you can configure that also in advanced settingĪfter adding the IP of iSCSI target, Click on the “Targets” tab and you will find Target IQN as “Inactive”, click on Connect and select “Enable Multi Path” also.

Navigate to Administrative Tools -> iSCSI Initiator service -> Discovery TabĪnd enter the IP Address of your iSCSI Target, my scenario host 1 and iSCSI IP is 192.168.1.50 įrom a vSAN side iSCSI Target configuration and LUN maping has been completed, now you can login to Windows Machine configure the iSCSI Initiator. Navigate to vSAN Cluster->Configure ->vSAN -> iSCSI Initiator Groups to configure. You have Option to configure the access to iSCSI target, you may specify the IQNs / Add them to Group or EveryoneĪdditionally you can configure iSCSI initiator Groups to manage access to Targets Storage Policy vSAN storage allocation for LUN, it gives you an example on the right hand side of what this looks like from a vSAN PerspectiveĪfter you create iSCSI target and LUN you will see similar configuration like below

The Storage Policy to be applied to the iSCSI Target.

Authentication Method (CHAP and Mutual CHAP supported).

While creating iSCSI Target and LUN you have to fill various details Once the Target service is enabled you will the options to configure the iSCSI Targets and do other related configurationsĬlick on ” + ” Add button to create new iSCSI target and from same window you can create the LUN and assign to the same target or you can skip this potion by remove the ” tick ”, you can use the vSphere Flex Client to do these configuration. You Can monitor the progress on the recent tasks You have to select the default network, TCP port, Authentication method and a vSAN Storage Policy. Navigate to the vSAN cluster – > Configure -> vSAN -> iSCSI Target ServiceĬlick on the Enable Option, new window will appear with enable vSAN optionĮnable the iSCSI target service and add required details and Click Apply Note:- vSAN iSCSI target service does not support other vSphere or ESXi clients or initiators, third-party hypervisors, or migrations using raw device mapping (RDMs).įirst verify iSCSI Target service status by following below, by default this service will be disabled You can use the IP addresses of two or more hosts to configure the multipath. To ensure high availability of the vSANiSCSI target, configure multipath support for your iSCSI application.

To discover vSAN iSCSI targets, use the IP address of any host in the vSAN cluster, and the TCP port of the iSCSI target. ISCSI target service will support to enable the hosts and physical workloads that reside outside the vSAN cluster to access the vSAN datastore.This feature enables an iSCSI initiator on a remote host to transport block-level data to an iSCSI target on a storage device in the vSANcluster.Īfter you configure the vSAN iSCSI target service, you can discover the vSAN iSCSI targets from a remote host.

In this post, I will cover how to configure iSCSI target on vSAN 6.7 environment and about WSFC will discuss on another post as continuation of this. We can present the iSCSI-shared disks from vSAN to Virtual machines on the same vSAN cluster and officially support Microsoft WSFC “Windows Server Failover Clusters “. vSAN 6.7 now supports iSCSI target with SCSI Persistent Reservations for iSCSI shared disks. As we know with vSAN 6.5, VMware released feature iSCSI Target and with new release of vSANversion 6.7, they have enhanced this feature.
