Method 2 (Discovery Using iSNS Server)
This section describes the procedure for iSCSI Target discovery using the iSNS
server. For more information about the iSNS server, see "Appendix" on page 39.
Pre-Requisites
Before you perform iSCSI Target discovery, perform the following steps:
1
Identify a system to serve as an iSNS server.
2
Ensure that the Initiator and the Target are on the same network as the
iSNS server (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2).
3
Download the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator software from Microsoft Support
website at

and install the Initiator (Host).
4
Download the Microsoft iSNS server software from Microsoft Support

operating system.
NOTE: Do not install the iSNS server software on Initiator (host) or Target
(PowerVault storage solution). Install the software on a separate Client/Server
running Windows operating system.

Turn on the PowerVault storage system and create one or more volumes on
the storage array for creating virtual disks for iSCSI Targets.
