iSCSI Configuration for Microsoft Windows

This section describes how to install and configure these iSCSI initiators for
Microsoft Windows:
• MS Initiator
• QLogic4050/4052 Initiator
Configuration Notes
• On pre-Vista operating systems, Microsoft does not support "dynamic" disks for
use with the Microsoft iSCSI initiator. Adaptec recommends using the QLogic
QLA4050/4052, which supports "dynamic disks", or using only "basic" disks
with the Microsoft initiator to avoid unexpected behavior and possible data loss
when using the MS initiator to connect to iSCSI targets in your iSCSI Storage
Appliance.
• Choose to install the Microsoft MPIO driver during iSCSI initiator installation.
