Accessing Parallels Cloud Storage iSCSI Targets from Microsoft Hyper-V

Note: Names of the targets to be mounted must not contain underscore characters.

  1. Make sure that Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service, MSiSCSI , is running.
  2. Discover a new target portal. For example, for the portal 192.168.10.100, run:

    PS C:\Users\Administrator>new-iscsitargetportal -targetportaladdress 192.168.10.100

    Initiator Instance Name :

    Initiator Portal Address :

    IsDataDigest : False

    IsHeaderDigest : False

    TargetPortalAddress : 192.168.10.100

    TargetPortalPortNumber : 3260

    PSComputerName :

  3. Connect to the desired target. For example, for the target iqn.2014-03.com.pstorage:test1

    PS C:\Users\Administrator> connect-iscsitarget

    cmdlet Connect-IscsiTarget at command pipeline position 1

    Supply values for the following parameters:

    NodeAddress: iqn.2014-04.com.pstorage:test1

    AuthenticationType : NONE

    InitiatorInstanceName : ROOT\ISCSIPRT\0000_0

    InitiatorNodeAddress : iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:win-l2dj7g36n7e.sw.swsoft.com

    InitiatorPortalAddress : 0.0.0.0

    InitiatorSideIdentifier : 400001370000

    IsConnected : True

    IsDataDigest : False

    IsDiscovered : True

    IsHeaderDigest : False

    IsPersistent : False

    NumberOfConnections : 1

    SessionIdentifier : ffffe00000b5e020-4000013700000005

    TargetNodeAddress : iqn.2014-04.com.pstorage:test1

    TargetSideIdentifier : 0001

    PSComputerName :

  4. To check that the disk has been connected, run

    PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-disk

    Number Friendly Name OperationalStatus Total Size Partition Style
