Win8 How to use an iSCSI initiator

WIN8 uses the iSCSI initiator in the following ways:

iSCSI technology is a set of SCSI instructions that can be used by hardware devices to run at the upper level of the IP protocol, which enables the SCSI protocol to be run on an IP network to enable routing on such high speed gigabit Ethernet. iSCSI technology is a new storage technology that combines existing SCSI interfaces with Ethernet network (Ethernet) technology to enable servers to Exchange data with storage devices that use IP networks.

Operation Steps:

1. In the administrative tools in the Win7 Control Panel, clicking on the iSCSI Initiator directly prompts the user to enable the service and enables the service to start automatically each time the computer starts.

2. In the iSCSI initiator properties interface, in the target option, you can enter the IP address or DNS name directly, then click "Quick Connect".

3. In the discovery option, users can add the discovery portal directly to the target portal, or they can add an iSNS server.

4. In addition, the iSCSI initiator can automatically configure specific volumes or devices used by a program or service. Action, on the volume and Devices Options page, click Automatic Configuration.
