Hi All,
I have a customer who wants to run bare metal Server 2022 but wants the volumes on the hosted to be presented over iSCSI, using a storage array. I have only done this using Hyper-V/vSphere. Is it just a case of creating the initiator directly in the OS - is there any issues with this at all ? Do we just separate iSCSI traffic on the host ?
Thanks,

Hello Tomas
Welcome to the Microsoft community!
I have read your description. Is the customer's environment mounting the virtual disk to the VM via ISCSI on Hyper-V Host? It is similar to the link below.
https://thesolving.com/virtualization/how-to-configure-a-pass-through-disk-with-hyper-v/
So VM did not use VHD files. Just transfer data to the Host via the ISCSI protocol.
Wish you all the best!
Best Regards,
Andrew
