Configuring Shares to Logical Devices (MS Initiator)
When using the Microsoft initiator, shares to logical devices may not automatically
reconnect when the Windows system hosting the shares is rebooted. There are two
methods to resolve this issue:
• Share an iSCSI target that has an assigned drive letter. This method requires
changes to the Windows registry and is described in Microsoft Knowledgebase
article #870964 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870964 ).
• Mount the logical device to a folder on an existing NTFS volume as described in
“Mounting a Logical Device Without a Drive Letter”. This method does not
require changes to the Windows registry and is described below.
