Connecting Hyper-V to Dell iSCSI
hi,
i have instance of hyper-v 2008 r2 hypervisor installed on hp dl360 g7. i have dell equallogic lun allocated iqn , correct ip address configured allowed connect.
i have configured virtual switch connecting hypervisor san , can ping it. how provision vm in storage through hypervisor management console? all server sees local or network storage not san.
any advice, matt.
don't connect iscsi target through virtual switch. use @ least 1 dedicated hardware adapter , ip.
if haven't already, use iscsicpl.exe connect lun.
once connected, use diskpart mount , format iscsi volume.
list disk -- show disks; determine disk number of connected lun. select disk # online disk attributes disk clear readonly create partition primary -- creates partition using entire space of disk -- on destroyed. list volume -- shows volumes, find number volume created select volume # format fs=ntfs quick -- can add label="vm storage" or something, if want volume label assign letter=l -- or letter want.create folder on new drive specific vms, because it's not practice have things in root.
then, in hyper-v manager, place vms in folder on new l: drive, or whatever letter used.
