    Hi @yhya mamdouh ,

    Edit: The iSCSI target initiator limit is 256 targets, the iSCSI might suffer if the limit is exceeded.
    For the simultaneous session limit the limit is 64.

    Hi @yhya mamdouh ,

    The iSCSI target instances per appliance is 256

    If the iSCSI Target Server is hosted by a server running Windows Server 2012 R2 or newer and you want to use VSS or VDS from a remote server, the remote server has to also run the same version of Windows Server and have the iSCSI Target Storage Provider role service installed.

    You can get the server limit from here
