Creating volumes

Once you have configured your iSCSI targets and created iSCSI virtual disks on them, enabled and configured your iSCSI initiators, and established connections and sessions between initiators and targets, you are ready to provision iSCSI storage by creating new volumes. I’ll conclude this lesson by walking you through an example of how to create a new volume on HOST4 (the server that has the initiator) from a target and virtual disk on HOST7 (the server with the iSCSI Target Server installed):

  1. Begin by opening Server Manager on HOST4, and select the File And Storage Services page.

  2. Because you created two iSCSI virtual disks that are 50 and 150 GBs in size previously in this lesson, these disks are displayed in the Disks tile on the Disks subpage. To create a new volume on HOST4 from the 50-GB iSCSI virtual disk on HOST7, you begin by right-clicking on the 50-GB disk and selecting New Volume:

  3. Doing this launches the New Volume Wizard. Because you want the new volume to appear as a local drive on your initiator server (HOST4), you select HOST4 in the Server list on the Select The Server And Disk page of this wizard:

  4. Proceed through the remaining steps of the wizard until you have clicked Create. At this point, an Offline Or Uninitialized Disk dialog box is displayed because the selected disk (the disk selected in the earlier screen shot of the Disks tile) has Unknown as its partition style. Clicking OK in this dialog box brings the disk online and initializes it as a GPT disk.

Once the new volume has been created, opening Explorer on HOST4 shows the disk as a local volume even though the actual iSCSI storage is located elsewhere on HOST7. You can now copy or save files to the new volume as if it was a locally installed disk on the computer.
