Von der Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Software Download Page V2.04 die Datei Initiator-2.04-build3273-x86fre.exe herunterladen und ausführen.

This is always checked and cannot be unchecked. All configurations require the port driver and thus it is always installed.

This is the usermode iSCSI initiator service and is required for all iSCSI Software Initiator installations using iSCSI HBA or the iSCSI software Software Initiator.

This is the kernel mode iSCSI software initiator driver and is used to connect to iSCSI devices via the Windows TCP/IP stack using NICs. If this option is selected then the Initiator Service option is also selected automatically.

This installs the core MS MPIO files and the Microsoft iSCSI Device Specific Module (DSM). This will enable the MS iSCSI software initiator and HBA to perform session based multipathing to a target that supports multiple sessions to a target. If the version of MS MPIO core files is later than the version installed on the computer then the core MS MPIO files will be upgraded to the latest version that is part of the installation package. Microsoft MPIO is supported on Windows 2000 Server platforms, Windows Server 2003 platforms, and future Windows Server platforms. Microsoft MPIO is not supported on Windows XP or Windows 2000 Professional. When installing the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator package on either Windows XP or Windows 2000 Professional, the Microsoft MPIO check-box will be greyed out.

In unattended installations, the installer uses command line switches defined in the below table and specified in the environment variable ISCSI_SETUP_OPTIONS to select components for installation.

Microsoft does not support the use of NIC teaming on iSCSI interfaces. For iSCSI SAN interfaces, Microsoft recommends that customers use dual or quad ported NICs, or multiple single-port NICs and allow Microsoft Windows components to control fail-over and redundancy to ensure consistent visibility into the data path. Fail-over and load balancing of multiple paths to an iSCSI target from within the same server is supported through MS MPIO and MCS (fail over and load balance over multiple adapters in the same server. Please see details on configuring MS MPIO and MCS later in this guide. Microsoft Cluster Server can also be used for customers who want to fail over and load balance shared storage resources between servers (fail over and load balance from one server to another server). NIC teaming can still be used on LAN interfaces only that are not used to connect to an iSCSI SAN.
