For those of you who have read my previous posts about clustering in VMware with iSCSI, you know I have used Windows implementations of iSCSI target software. In the first post, Creating a cluster in VMware Workstation using iSCSI, I talked about StarWind and StarPort. In a second post, Update: MSCS cluster in VMware using iSCSI, I recommended to replace StarPort with Microsoft’s iSCSI software initiator, which is fully supported in a clustering scenario. In those earlier posts, I used StarWind. An alternative to StarWind is WinTarget, from String Bean Software. String Bean Software has recently been acquired by Microsoft. Both solutions work well but I wanted to implement an iSCSI target with non-commercial software. The iSCSI target server needed to be portable and not consume too much memory. To implement this iSCSI target server, I used iSCSI Enterprise Target (IET). IET requires Linux. The next sections describe how to implement and use this solution.   more »
