File System - Assigned drive letter(s). Use the assigned drive letter to view the virtual disk. Virtual Disk - Virtual disk name. SP IP - SP IP address.

Update to AX100-Series - Installing an iSCSI Storage System with a Network Connection to a Windows Server and AX100-Series - Installing an iSCSI Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Windows Server Dynamic Disks Contrary to what the installation guides say, do not upgrade a disk in an iSCSI storage system to a dynamic disk when writing a digital signature to the disk. Dynamic disks are not supported by the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator. NIC initiators Contrary to what the installation guides say, when configuring your NIC initiators to connect to the iSCSI storage system target, you cannot enable header or data digests when you create an iSCSI login session or discovery session. A known defect in Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Revisions 1.05 and 1.06 causes the initiator not to re-establish the connection between a server and a storage system when certain iSCSI digest errors occur. This behavior can cause the server to lose access to the storage system. Because of this, EMC does not support the use of iSCSI header or data digests for servers using Microsoft Initiator Revisions 1.05 or 1.06 to target CLARiiON iSCSI storage systems. This defect will be corrected in a future version of the Microsoft Initiator. iSCSI digests are primarily used to protect against data corruption from misbehaving network devices in layer 3 networks.

Update to
AX100-Series - Installing an iSCSI Storage System with a Network
Connection to a Windows Server
and
AX100-Series - Installing an iSCSI Storage
System with a Direct Connection to a Windows Server
Dynamic Disks
Contrary to what the installation guides say, do not upgrade a disk in an
iSCSI storage system to a dynamic disk when writing a digital signature
to the disk. Dynamic disks are not supported by the Microsoft iSCSI
Software Initiator.
NIC initiators
Contrary to what the installation guides say, when configuring your NIC
initiators to connect to the iSCSI storage system target, you cannot enable
header or data digests when you create an iSCSI login session or
discovery session.
A known defect in Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Revisions 1.05 and 1.06
causes the initiator not to re-establish the connection between a server
and a storage system when certain iSCSI digest errors occur. This
behavior can cause the server to lose access to the storage system.
Because of this, EMC does not support the use of iSCSI header or data
digests for servers using Microsoft Initiator Revisions 1.05 or 1.06 to
target CLARiiON iSCSI storage systems. This defect will be corrected in
a future version of the Microsoft Initiator.
