restore iSCSI volume at startup ?to reconnect when the server boots up. Using MS iSCSI initiator I've got the "Target" set up OK with a CHAP logon and it's set to "automatically restore this connection when the system boots" and the target shows as "Connected" after a re-boot The target is in the list of persistent targets F:\ is in the list of "Bound Volumes/Devices" After a re-boot I have to go into Computer Management / Disk Management where "Disk 1" has a red circle next to it and shows as "Offline", I have to manually select "Reactivate Disk" to get it back online How do I get the volume to come online automatically after a re-boot? Many thanks Peter Lawton Sorted it out now, I was using Dynamic volumes. Changed to Basic and
everything's working fine Peter Lawton Show quoteHide quote "Peter Lawton" <devnull@fakedomain> wrote in message news:%23qLuuXrRHHA.4832@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I'm new to using iSCSI SANs and I'm having a bit of trouble getting a > volume to reconnect when the server boots up. > > Using MS iSCSI initiator > > I've got the "Target" set up OK with a CHAP logon and it's set to > "automatically restore this connection when the system boots" and the > target shows as "Connected" after a re-boot > > The target is in the list of persistent targets > > F:\ is in the list of "Bound Volumes/Devices" > > After a re-boot I have to go into Computer Management / Disk Management > where "Disk 1" has a red circle next to it and shows as "Offline", I have > to manually select "Reactivate Disk" to get it back online > > How do I get the volume to come online automatically after a re-boot? > > Many thanks > > Peter Lawton > Is there a way to have a Dynamic volume reconnect at boot.
I have two basic iScsi disks and one dynamic. The dynamic disk started as a LUN that was 19 gig, I extended the iScsi LUN to 38 Gig, so on my NAS It shows one Lun of 38 Gig, but on my Windows Server it shows my Dynamic Disk at 38 Gig but with two simple volumes at 19 gig each. It does not look like I can convert this to a basic disk. Is there a way to get the disk to automatically reconnect on bootup? Fredrick A. Zilz Director IT InterHealth N.I.

I have set up shares on my server that
are mounted via the iSCSI initiator. When I reboot, the drives do not autmatically remount. The show up as offline in the disk manager and I have to reactivate them. I hear there is a way to set up the order of the services on boot up to load iSCSI earlier in the list but I have not found "easy" docs to follow to do this.

So
pick a big size and stick with it because you can't dynamically expand a volume while using this initiator. Well... you can but then it will not reload on reboot even if you foloow all the other info in this thread.
