Iscsi Target Status Not Connected
2012 iSCSI Target host in my home lab to Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview. That went well for one “minor” iscsi add target portal connection failed issue. My iSCSI initiators could not connect to it anymore and where in perpetual “connecting mode”. On the target the status remained in “Not Connected” for all the VHDs. As you can imagine

this sort of ruins the share storage experience on my test Hyper-V cluster. After checking the basics and the event logs I found nothing wrong with the iSCSI Target. It’s then that I turned to the firewall as I suspected that we could have an issue there. Sure enough, the inbound iSCSI rules on the target had not been enabled. After taking care of that the unable to login to the target iscsi iSCSI connections succeeded and live was good again in the home lab. You only need to enable the iSCSI target rules.

Click “Yes” to start the iSCSI service and set it to start automatically each time the server restarts: It will take a few seconds for the service to start and then https://blog.workinghardinit.work/2013/07/03/upgrading-windows-server-2012-iscsi-target-to-windows-server-2012-r2-preview/ the interface shown below will load. Click the “Discovery” tab at the top and then the “Discover Portal” button: Enter the IP Address or DNS Name of your SAN and click “OK”: Select the “Targets” tab, click the “Refresh” button, select the iSCSI target, and click the “Connect” button: Only check the “Enable multi-path” check mark if the Multipath IO feature has been previously installed on the server. This option allows multiple iSCSI network paths from your http://mikefrobbins.com/2010/08/19/iscsi-initiator-configuration-on-windows-2008-r2-server-core/ server to your SAN to be active simultaneously. Click “OK”: The iSCSI target should now show that it is connected: Select the “Favorite Targets” tab and verify the iSCSI target shows up: Select the “Volumes and Devices” tab, click the “Auto Configure” button, and click “OK”: The iSCSI initiator portion of the configuration is now complete.Enable "Allow MMC Remote Management" as shown in my "Remote Management of Hyper-V Server or Server Core" blog.From a machine that is running a full GUI version of an operating system (Vista or higher), launch the “Computer Management” MMC and remotely manage your core server. In "Disk Management", locate the "Unknown" disk: Right click the Disk that shows up as "Unknown" and select “Online”: Right click the same Disk again and select “Initialize Disk”: Leave the defaults selected unless the disk is over 2Tb (Terabytes) or expected to grow over 2Tb in the future. I chose a “GPT” type disk since the iSCSI target I am mounting is 2Tb and may grow larger in the future: Right click the "Unallocated" space and select “New Simple Volume”. From this point forward, any server admin should be able to handle it since it's just like an internal disk.

Assuming you've configured iSCSI windows server 2012 correctly, have enabled all the necessary firewall exceptions, and have IP connectivity, the next item would be to connect to the iSCSI target.

You should see a list of available targets under the Targets tab after clicking Refresh, but you may not see any. The most likely cause for not seeing the targets is that you haven't added the initiator's iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) to the target. The only targets shown are those that the initiator has permission to use, so if you haven't added the initiator IQN to the allowed list for the target, no targets will be displayed.

Expand iSCSI Targets. Right-click a target that the client should be able to access and select Properties. Select the iSCSI Initiators tab. Click the Add button and enter the IQN of the initiator (you can check the IQN of
