Lab Rationale:
iSCSI is a storage area network infrastructure that enhances storage flexibility,
scalability, and efficiency in virtualized environments like Hyper-V Hosting. iSCSI
enables seamless communication between Hyper-V servers and remote storage
systems, contributing to effective storage management.
Let's explore its role:
1.
Storage Connectivity:
• The iSCSI protocol allows servers (such as the Hyper-V host named
Datacenter01 in the diagram) to connect to remote storage systems
(ServerDM1 in the diagram) over an IP network.
• It enables the server to access storage resources as if they were locally
attached disks.
• Essentially, iSCSI extends the server's storage capabilities beyond its
physical boundaries.
2.
Use Cases for iSCSI in This Solution:
• Virtual Machine Storage: In a Hyper-V environment, iSCSI is
commonly used to provide storage for virtual machines (VMs).
• VMs can use iSCSI volumes as their virtual hard disks (VHDs).
• This allows VMs to store data on remote storage arrays, improving
flexibility and scalability.
• Shared Storage: When multiple Hyper-V hosts need to access the
same storage pool, iSCSI provides a shared storage solution.
• VMs can migrate between hosts without moving their data, thanks to
shared iSCSI storage.
• Backup and Disaster Recovery: iSCSI storage can be used for VM
backups and disaster recovery.
• VM snapshots, backups, and replication can leverage iSCSI volumes.
• Storage Tiering: iSCSI allows you to create storage tiers by combining
different types of storage (e.g., SSDs and HDDs).
____________________________________________________________________________________________
TECH169 Discovery Labs W24
Page 3
Discovery Project 4: Deploy a Storage Area Network To
Support A Hyper-V Host
• VMs can be assigned to the appropriate storage tier based on their
performance requirements.
3.
Configuration and Management:
• Administrators configure the iSCSI initiator on the Hyper-V host to
connect to the iSCSI target (the storage system).
• They define iSCSI sessions, specify target IP addresses, and
authenticate the connection.
• Once configured, the host can access storage volumes provided by the
iSCSI target.

4. In the RAID-5 S:\ Properties window, note that RAID-5 is of Type: Local Disk.
The term “local disk” typically refers to a storage device that is directly connected to the
motherboard within the computer case.
Therefore, the RAID-5 volume we created is not yet capable of receiving direct I/O command
sequences from remote motherboards, such as from Datacenter01.
To facilitate data transmission of I/O command sequences from Datacenter01, we will modify
RAID-5 to make it part of an iSCSI Storage Area Network (iSCSI SAN).

Task 5 - Initialize the iSCSI Disk
Initializing iSCSI disks is a crucial step when setting up storage using the iSCSI (Internet
Small Computer System Interface) protocol.
When you initialize an iSCSI disk, you prepare it for use by the operating system (such as
Windows Server). Initialization erases any existing data on the disk, ensuring a clean slate.
After initialization, you can format the disk and create partitions to store files.
To initialize the iSCSI disks from the iSCSI initiator, perform the following steps on
Datacenter01:
1. On Datacenter01 server, the Server Manager Dashboard is open.
2. Click File and Storage Services on the left pane.
3. You will be directed to File and Storage Services > Volumes > Disks.

Conclusion
iSCSI is a versatile technology that finds several valuable applications in data centers.
Let’s explore some of the possible uses:
1. Storage Consolidation:
o
iSCSI SANs allow you to consolidate storage resources from multiple servers into a
centralized storage system. This simplifies management, reduces hardware costs,
and optimizes storage utilization.
2. Virtualization:
o
o
In virtualized environments, iSCSI SANs provide shared storage for virtual machines
(VMs). VMs can be easily migrated between hosts without disrupting services,
thanks to the centralized storage pool.
Features like snapshots and clones enhance VM management and data protection.
3. Disaster Recovery (DR):
o
iSCSI SANs facilitate efficient DR solutions. By replicating data between
geographically separated SANs, you can ensure business continuity in case of site
failures.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
TECH169 Discovery Labs W24
Page 39
Discovery Project 4: Deploy a Storage Area Network To
Support A Hyper-V Host
o
Remote mirroring and asynchronous replication are commonly used for DR
purposes.
4. Backup and Archiving:
o
o
iSCSI SANs serve as reliable backup targets. Backup servers can directly write data
to the SAN, reducing the load on production servers.
Long-term archiving of critical data can also be achieved using iSCSI SANs.
5. Database Storage:
o
o
High-performance databases benefit from iSCSI SANs. They provide low-latency
access to data, improving database responsiveness.
Features like thin provisioning and deduplication optimize storage efficiency.
6. Media Streaming and Content Delivery:
o
o
For media servers and content delivery networks (CDNs), iSCSI SANs ensure fast
and reliable access to multimedia files.
Scalability and load balancing are achievable by distributing content across
multiple SAN volumes.
7. Test and Development Environments:
o
o
iSCSI SANs are ideal for creating isolated test and development environments.
Developers can provision storage quickly and efficiently.
Snapshots allow easy rollback to previous states during testing.
8. High-Performance Computing (HPC):
o
o
HPC clusters benefit from iSCSI SANs for shared storage. Parallel file systems and
large-scale simulations can leverage the SAN’s performance.
High-speed interconnects (such as 10GbE) enhance data transfer rates.
9. Streaming Surveillance and Video Storage:
o
o
Surveillance systems generate massive amounts of video data. iSCSI SANs provide
scalable storage for surveillance footage.
Real-time access to video streams is crucial, and iSCSI ensures low latency.
10. File Services and File Sharing:
o
o
iSCSI SANs can host file shares for users and applications. They provide a central
repository for documents, images, and other files.
Features like access control and quotas enhance file management.
Remember that iSCSI SANs offer flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of
deployment. Whether you’re building a new data center or expanding an existing one,
consider the benefits of iSCSI storage for your specific use cases.
