When setting up a Windows client to access aVolume Group (VG)via iSCSI, the administrator must configure the client’s iSCSI initiator to connect to the correcttarget.
1️⃣Data Services IP (DSIP):
TheDSIPis used by external clients (like Windows servers) to connect to Nutanix services, including iSCSI for Volume Groups. It’s a highly available IP that floats across the cluster CVMs.
2️⃣Volume Group Name (VG Name):
This is thetarget namethat the Windows iSCSI initiator will log on to. It’s needed to identify which Volume Group to access.
The cluster’s FQDN or all CVM IPs aren’t used for direct iSCSI target connections. TheDSIPensures proper load balancing and failover for the connection, while theVG nameis essential to identify the specific storage being requested.
