I am attempting to set up a windows server 2008 failover cluster using virtual machines in VMWare. I need FreeNAS to simulate network attached storage for this to work.
What I've done.
Created 2 VMWare virtual Windows 2008 R2 servers, attached to domain
Created 1 VMWare virtual FreeBSD server for FreeNAS
Created 2 additional virtual SCSI disks to the virtual image
Browsed to the FreeNAS admin app.
Created 1 volume for each member disk, set the filesystem type to ZFS
Created 1 ZFS volume for each volume
Created 1 Device Extent for each ZFS volume
Created 1 initiator set to All,All
Created 1 Portal set to 0.0.0.0:3260
Created 2 Targets
Created 2 Target/Extents, to associate each Target to the Device Extent.
At this point, when using the iSCSI initiator in a Windows Server, I set the target to the IP address of the FreeNAS server, and get a connection failed error.
Was wondering if it was something to do with not being on the domain, so tried setting the hostname and domain in global configuration, and add an interface, but don't think that actually added the server to the domain.
Any suggestions on this, did I miss a step? This is my first crack at FreeNAS.
