Microsoft iSCSI Software Target
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target provides centralized, software-based and hardware-independent iSCSI disk
subsystems in storage area networks (SANs). You can use iSCSI Software Target, which includes a Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) snap-in, to create iSCSI targets and iSCSI virtual disks. You can then use the
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target console to manage all iSCSI targets and virtual disks created using iSCSI
Software Target.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.2 provides the following features:
Server Manager
Integration
Improved CHAP Secret
Storage
ERL0 Compliant
Microsoft Management Console
®
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is an extensible common presentation service for management
applications. MMC unifies and simplifies day-to-day system management tasks. It hosts tools and displays
them as consoles. These tools, consisting of one or more applications, are built with modules called snap-ins.
The snap-ins also can include additional extension snap-ins. Microsoft Management Console enables system
administrators to create special tools to delegate specific administrative tasks to users or groups. Microsoft
provides standard tools with the operating system that perform everyday administrative tasks that users need
to accomplish.
Task Orientation
Integration
Customization of Consoles
SIS reduces the amount of storage used by data by replacing
multiple identical copies with logical links to a single source copy.
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 is tuned to provide better
performance in a file server role, realizing as much as an 8%
performance gain in file system operations.
Remote administration of Windows Storage Server 2008 R2
appliances can be done from Internet Explorer using an ActiveX
control, and from non-Microsoft browsers using a Java control.
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 offers performance
enhancements for the Print Services role.
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 can provide DFS support for file
sharing for WANs and satellite offices
Manage your Microsoft iSCSI Software Target from Server
Manager.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.2 uses a more secure and
customizable storage method for CHAP secrets.
Connection and session reinstatement is now fully ERL0
compliant.
The tools being defined to work with MMC are task oriented in
nature—they cater to the task being performed rather than merely
displaying the raw objects that can be manipulated. Also, because
administrators can customize their own tools, using pieces from
various vendors, they can create tools that contain only the UI they
need to complete their tasks.
The UI for all the management tasks an administrator must
perform are collected into a single console. As new applications
are added to a computer or network, their administration is
integrated into the existing administration common console.
Administrators can create custom consoles tailored to their
particular management needs. This is useful in enterprise
environments that divide administrator groups according to duties.
For example, you can create a custom console for software
installation and maintenance, another one for scripts
