Configuring the iSCSI Target in the Cluster

The configuration of the iSCSI target node of the cluster depends on whether you are using a virtual machine or a host for the target.

If you are using a host, you simply need to install the iSCSI target software on the host. Once the iSCSI initiator virtual machines are configured and the iSCSI initiator software installed, the virtual machines can access the target.

If you are using a virtual machine as the iSCSI target, configure the virtual machine the same way you did for the initiator, except for the following:

Make sure the virtual machine is configured with at least one SCSI virtual disk.

You can configure the virtual machine with one virtual network adapter. If the virtual machine is located on the same host as the iSCSI initiators, you should configure it to use host-only networking. If the virtual machine is located on another GSX Server host, you should configure it to use bridged networking.

You must install iSCSI target software instead of iSCSI initiator software on a SCSI virtual disk.
