I am trying to configure a Server 2008 Datacenter Core server to mount an
iSCSI volume. The server has multiple NIC's, one of which is on the iSCSI
VLAN. The server is in a workgroup and will be a Hyper-V host.
On a separate Win 08 box with a full installation and domain membership I
can mount the iSCSI volume no problem with Storage Explorer by entering the
target portal address and logging into the right IQN. In addition, from that
'08 box (or another Vista box that I have) I can fully remotely manage the
Server Core box through a combination of firewall rules and local accounts
(cmdkey /add). So, I know my problems are not permissions related. Again, I
can FULLY manage the server remotely from a domain-joined server or
workstation.
BUT, Storage Explorer from that same domain-joined Win 08 box is deaf blind
and stupid when trying to remotely connect to the Core box. It lists the
server as SERVERNAME.WORKGROUP but doesn't give any options for managing it.
It doesn't even show the IQN of the server, so I know its not getting too
far. And the results are the same if I turn off the firewalls on both boxes,
so that's not it.
