Creating an iSCSI Target
iSCSI is an industry-standard protocol that implements block storage over a TCP/IP network. With iSCSI, the server, or target, provides a volume shared via iSCSI to an iSCSI client, also known as the Iscsi initiator.
In the original SCSI protocol, you use the term Logical Unit Number (LUN) to refer to a single physical disk attached to the SCSI bus. With iSCSI, you give each remotely shared volume an iSCSI logical unit number. Once connected to the iSCSI target, the iSCSI client sees the LUN as another disk device attached to the local system. From the iSCSI client, you can manage the disk just like locally-attached storage.
Windows Server 2022 includes iSCSI target (server) and iSCSI initiator (client) features. Windows installs the initiator software by default, and you can add the target feature to Windows Server systems.
To use iSCSI, you need an iSCSI target on a server and an iSCSI initiator on another server (or client) system to access the iSCSI target...
