iscsi luns not showing up in disk management

Question

I have a windows 2016 server connected to a nimble storage array via iscsi. it shows connected with iqn but no luns or disks show up in disk management

Answer 1

Hi,

Please help to check the storage side first. Is the iSCSI target still enabled and connected to the initiator on the server side? If yes, please run services.msc and manually restart the Virtual Disk service on the windows server. Also see if disconnect/connect the target helps.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
