Last week, Microsoft announced the release of the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target for free allowing a Windows Server to host an "cheap" iSCSI SAN, for use with failover clustering for example. Before that, the iSCSI Software Target was available with Windows Storage Server.
Aidan Finn, a Microsoft MVP for Hyper-V has published a step-by-step guide on how to build a Hyper-V Cluster using this iSCSI Software Target.
The paper covers the following topics:
- Installation and Configuration of the Storage
- Building a standalone host to run System Center VMs
- Building a 2 node Hyper-V cluster
