iSCSI Initiator errors after trying to set up IPsec.

Cyanexavior — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 16:01:59 +0000

In an effort to set up some sort of security on the IP traffic between the systems using iSCSI I attempted to implement IPsec. In doing so the Windows iSCSI initiators were no longer able to communicate with the targets. So after removing the settings in the local security policy most of the systems were back up and could see the vhds with the exception of one. This system can actually see the targets but whenever I try and create a session it gives me the error “The Target name is not found or is marked hidden from login”. An interesting note is that when I try and discover the host system through a specific portal it won’t show the targets, only when I set my iSNS server (which is the same machine). My suspicion is that the configuration settings from when I tried to set it up to use IPSec is still in there and flushing that out would do the trick. I would even be fine with reinstalling the initiator software if I could figure out how to uninstall it. (This system is using Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise). Jeez I’m just getting scatterbrained now, any ideas?

I am trying to prepare to migrate to HyperV from VMWare. I am currently using VM Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0 and I am unsure of how to retrieve the VMDK files to my PC so I can then convert them to VHDs.

This question is from the Microsoft Virtualization Chat held on August 27th.

Hyper-V VHD file copy

BladeMarvel — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:50:02 +0000

I just installed the stand-alone version of Hyper-V on an HP DL380, and installed the Hyper-V management console on a Vista workstation. I’m able to create VM’s/connect to the Hyper-V just fine.

The problem is, can’t figure out how to copy a VHD file onto the Hyper-V server. Since Windows Server is not running on the Hyper-V machine, I can’t map a drive or otherwise copy the file. Can anyone tell me what I’m missing here?

Hyper-V Manager console showing no virtual machines

ITKE — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:55:49 +0000
