使用 Windows Server 2008 R2 在实验室/测试环境中创建模拟 iSCSI 目标
我们有一台运行 Windows Server 2008 的服务器,安装了 Hyper-V,运行 5 个虚拟机。我购买了第二台 DELL R805 服务器,以便我们可以为当前正在生产的 R805 创建故障转移集群。现在,我们的 R805 通过 iSCSI 连接到 MD3000i iSCSI SAN。在我们尝试将第二台服务器和集群部署到我们的生产环境之前,我希望能够在部署之前在我们的实验室中测试和“使用”集群功能。问题是我不想仅仅为了测试而花费几千美元购买另一台 iSCSI SAN 服务器。我的实验室中已经有两台服务器安装了 Windows Server 2008 R2 64 位(一台是 R805,另一台是闲置的备用台式机),并且启用了 Hyper-V 卷,应该可以进行测试,但我不知道没有 iSCSI 目标可用作群集共享卷。无论如何,是否可以在 Hyper-V 映像或具有某种模拟 iSCSI 目标的外部备用计算机上进行安装?在我们的实验室中,我们显然不需要真正的 SAN,只需要我们可以测试如何在生产环境之外正确设置集群。任何建议表示赞赏。
仅供参考 - 我已阅读 Jose Barret 关于 WUDSS 的博客 http://blogs.technet.com/josebda/archive/2008 /01/07/安装-evaluation-version-of-wudss-2003-refresh-and-the-microsoft-iscsi-software-target-version-3-1-on-a-vm.aspx ,但看起来非常复杂。我希望有一个更简单的解决方案。
We have a single server running Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V installed running 5 virtual machines. I have purchased a second DELL R805 Server so that we can create a fail-over cluster to our current R805 that is currently in production. Right now, our R805 connects via iSCSI to a MD3000i iSCSI SAN. Before we try to roll out the second server and clustering to our production environment, I want to be able to test and "play with" the clustering features in our lab before rolling it out. The problem is that I don't want to spend a couple thousand dollars on another iSCSI SAN server just for testing. I already have two servers in my lab that are installed with Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit (one is the R805 and another spare desktop that was laying around) and with the Hyper-V roll enabled that should be ready to test with, but I don't have an iSCSI target to use as the Cluster Shared Volume. Is there anyway to install, either on a Hyper-V image or on a external spare computer that we have some sort of emulated iSCSI target? In our lab, we obviously don't need a real SAN, just something that we can test out how to setup the clustering properly outside of our production environment. Any advise is appreciated.
FYI - I have read Jose Barret's blog on WUDSS at http://blogs.technet.com/josebda/archive/2008/01/07/installing-the-evaluation-version-of-wudss-2003-refresh-and-the-microsoft-iscsi-software-target-version-3-1-on-a-vm.aspx, but it seems awfully complex. I'm hoping for an easier solution.

如果您是 MSDN 或 TechNet 订阅者,则可以使用新的 iSCSI Target 3.3。它基本上是一个 MSI 文件,您可以在任何 Windows Server 2008 R2 上安装。出于评估目的,这可能是一个不错的选择。
从 MSDN/TechNet 获取它的过程描述于 http://blogs .technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2010/09/27/windows-storage-server-2008-r2-and-the-microsoft-iscsi-software-target-3-3-are-available-on-msdn -technet-here-s-how-to-install-them.aspx
第一次下载和解压需要一些工作,但是如果您执行一次,则可以仅保留 MSI 文件以进行简单的安装过程。您可能还会喜欢我博客上的“分步操作:将 Microsoft iSCSI 软件目标与 Hyper-V(独立、完整、VHD)结合使用”。
If you are an MSDN or TechNet subscriber, you can use the new iSCSI Target 3.3. which is basically an MSI file you can install on any Windows Server 2008 R2. For evaluation purposes, this is probably a good option.
The process to obtain it from MSDN/TechNet is described at http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2010/09/27/windows-storage-server-2008-r2-and-the-microsoft-iscsi-software-target-3-3-are-available-on-msdn-technet-here-s-how-to-install-them.aspx
The first time download and extraction is a bit of work, but if you do it once you can keep just the MSI file for a simple install process. You might also enjoy the "Step-by-step: Using the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target with Hyper-V (Standalone, Full, VHD)" on my blog.
