Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a bunch of PowerVaults MD1000 connected over SAS to a Dell server that needs to be replaced. This server presents the specified drive space to a couple of VM hosts(Hyper-V) over ISCSI. &nbsp;To make the matter a little more complicated, most VMs have two or more drives. For example the C:\ drive gets the space from the VM host, while drive D:\ gets the space directly from the PowerVault through ISCSI. &nbsp;My question is, how do I replace this server and make sure the VMs will see those ISCSI targets when the new server will be brought up?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you!

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

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
