In Server Manager, select File and Storage Services.

Click iSCSI.

A table of existing iSCSI virtual disks appears.

Select Tasks > New iSCSI Virtual Disk.

Use the New iSCSI Virtual Disk wizard to create the disk and target.

You can also optionally add an initiator.

Important:

Connecting an iSCSI target to more than one computer on the network and

sharing files can cause file corruption. The one exception is a network that includes an iSCSI

cluster server with file-sharing management. WSS 2012 cannot act as an iSCSI cluster

server.

targets on the network. Before you can start iSNS services, you must add it as a feature to

In Server Manager, select File and Storage Services.

Select Servers.

In the server list, select the server on which to enable iSNS.

Select TASKS > Add Roles and Features.

Use the Add Roles and Features wizard to add iSNS.

Under Installation Type, select Role-based or feature-based installation and click

Next.

Select the server and click Next.

Under File and Storage Services > File and iSCSI Services, select Features.

Select iSNS Server service and click Next to complete the installation.

If prompted, restart the server.

Make sure that the iSNS service has been added as a feature WSS 2012.
