To Configure Shares to iSCSI Disks. When using the Microsoft initiator, shares to iSCSI
disks may not automatically reconnect when the Windows system hosting the shares is
rebooted. There are two methods to resolve this issue:
• Share an iSCSI target that has an assigned drive letter. This method requires
changes to the Windows registry and is described in
#870964.
• Mount the iSCSI disk to a folder on an existing NTFS volume as described in
Mount an iSCSI Disk Without a Drive
to the Windows registry and is described below.
To Mount an iSCSI Disk Without a Drive Letter. To complete this procedure, you must create
and format an iSCSI target on the SnapServer and connect to this iSCSI disk using the
Microsoft initiator. You must also have an existing NTFS volume on a local disk within the
Windows server, initiating the connection.
1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage.
The new formatted volume will appear in the Disk Management window.
2. Right-click the New Volume and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
3. Click Remove in the Change Drive Letter and Paths for (New Volume) dialog, and
click Yes to confirm drive letter removal.
4. Right-click the New Volume again and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
5. Select Add in the Change Drive Letter and Paths for (New Volume) dialog.
6. In the Add Drive Letter or Path dialog, select Mount in the following empty NTFS folder.
7. Create a folder or enter the path to the one that will be shared from the Windows
server and select OK.
8. Select OK in the Add Drive Letter or Path dialog. This returns you to the Disk
Management window.
You will see the icon of a disk in place of the folder icon in the File Management
window.
9. Create a share to the iSCSI disk in the standard method, then reboot the Windows
machine and verify that the share is persistent.
