Setting Up a Dell Nas 300 Sans for vcenter

I'm having a issue trying to setup microsoft iscsi on a dell nas 300 device that has windows 2008r2 on it. I installed the microsoft iscsi target software and ran the iscsi initiator but its not detecting the device. Any help would be appreciated. Also, will be using it with vcenter for storage.


Thanks,
James

Not sure what you mean by you "ran the initiator", you don't run the initiator on the NAS box, you install the target software and then create LUNs on it and present them to initiators. In your case the initiators are the VMware hosts.

Yes, I installed the windows iscsi software on the server and to get the iqn i ran the initiator
where is showed the iqn name then from there i went to my vcenter server and located one of the hosts on it and located the iscsi software adapter and inside of there i put in the iqn name and ipaddress of the sans server

I checked and the iqn of target and the initiator are the same name.
Also, I have installed Windows 2008 r2 standard for the OS is that the correct one to use?
