Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping

Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping

Assigns a virtual disk to an iSCSI target.

Syntax

Parameter Set: __AllParameterSets
Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping [-TargetName] <String> [-Path] <String> [-ComputerName <String> ] [-Credential <PSCredential> ] [-Lun <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping cmdlet assigns a virtual disk to an iSCSI target. Once a virtual disk has been assigned to a target, and after the iSCSi initiator connects to that target, the iSCSI initiator can access the virtual disk. All of the virtual disks assigned to the same iSCSI target will be accessible by the connected iSCSI initiator.

Parameters

-ComputerName<String>

Specifies the computer name, or IP address, of the remote computer, if this cmdlet is run on a remote computer.
Specifies the cluster resource group network name, or cluster node name, if this cmdlet is run on a cluster configuration.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example associates the VHD with the path E:\Temp\vhd1.vhd to the target named TargetOne.

PS C:\> Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping -TargetName "TargetOne" -DevicePath "E:\Temp\vhd1.vhd"

EXAMPLE 2

This example associates the VHD with the path E:\Temp\vhd1.vhd to the target named TargetOne, and sets the LUN to 0. It is important that theLUN number for a given target is unique.

PS C:\> Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping -TargetName "TargetOne" -DevicePath "E:\Temp\vhd1.vhd" -Lun 0

EXAMPLE 3

This example assigns the ramdisk called test to the target object named TestTarget. When the initiator connects to the TestTarget, it will be able to access the RAMdisk.

PS C:\> Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping –TargetName TestTarget –Path ramdisk:test
