Is it possible another initiator has access to the volume?

No, the only initiator mapped to the volume is the correct one on the server in question.

I also forgot to mention the error message that I receive when I try to bring the disk online in the question. The error states, &quot;Logical Disk Manager: Incorrect Function&quot;.

No chance there's another initiator on another server accessing the volume?<br />

You've got a dual controller array but only connecting to one controller? That's rather strange. Connect to both and download the MPIO DSM from IBM.

I've attached a logical disk from an IBM disk array to a windows 2008 server via the built in iSCSI initiator. The volume attached to the server appears in disk management but fails to initialize when I try to bring it online in disk management. The volume size is roughly 1.75TB. Is this an issue with the volume size allowance or could the problem related to something else?

Why won't my iSCSI logical drive initialize in disk management?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
