iSCSI Configuration for Microsoft Windows
Appendix A Configuring iSCSI Initiators 161
Configuring Microsoft Services Installed on Logical Devices to Start
Automatically (MS Initiator)
iSCSI technology allows iSCSI Storage Appliances to host the data files for
applications that otherwise require local disk storage, such as MS SQL Server 2000
and Exchange Server 2003. If you use the Microsoft initiator on Windows XP or a
Windows 2003 server, services installed on logical devices will start up
automatically by default once you have configured them to persistently reconnect.
On the Windows 2000 server, however, you must edit the Windows registry to
make the service dependent on the iSCSI Initiator Service.
Caution
Use the Registry Editor with caution. Changes suggested by Adaptec
should be evaluated by qualified technical staff to ensure that they do not affect the
proper functionality of the Windows implementation, installed applications, or
other components on the Windows system whose registry is being modified. The
result of any modifications to the Windows registry can vary, and implied
outcomes of any modification suggested by Adaptec are NOT guaranteed, and may
not be supported.
Adaptec strongly recommends backing up your registry before making any
modifications. Please see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 322755 (Windows 2000)
for details on backing up and restoring the Windows registry.
Configuring the Server to Persistently Connect
1
As described in previous sections, create a logical device on the iSCSI Storage
Appliance and use the MS Initiator and Windows management tools to format
the disk.
2
From the Target tab of the Initiator’s Property dialog box, log in to the iSCSI
Storage Appliance target.
3
Check the
Automatically restore this connection when the system reboots
box to
make this a persistent target.
4
Use the Disk Administrator to configure all volumes on top of the disks.
5
From the Bound Volumes/Devices tab on the Property dialog box, click
Bind All
to allow the iSCSI service to configure the list of persistent volumes. If you are
running Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server, your logical devices will now
start automatically on reboot. If you are running Windows 2000 Server, you must
continue to the following procedures and edit the registry to make services
dependent on the iSCSI Initiator service.
