    What kind of software i need to make iscsi deployment in windows server 2008 hpc edition r2 beta1?
    For now i have installed Starwind software target provider, but nothing changed - iscsi deployment in HPC Cluster manager still locked.
    At 10:13 in this video http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/The+HPC+Show/Windows-HPCS-2008R2-Beta1-Deploying-Diskless-Compute-Notes/ we can see that Greg use "ISCSI Storage provider prototype", so such software isnt exist - only developer prototypes?

    the iscsi provider you use, will depend on the iscsi target you want to use.  Which iscsi target are you planning to use?

    I use microsoft iscsi software target and vds hardware provider. I have installed VDS hardware provider for microsoft iscsi target 3.2 (iscsitargetClient.msi) but iscsi deployment todo list still missing. I know that HPC Cluster manager needs some dll path in registry:

    В [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
    Microsoft\HPC\IScsiProvider]
    "ProviderPath"=REG_EXPAND_SZ:C:\Program Files\somefolder\somelib.dll

    So where can i get installation package that includes this dll? Maybe in hpc_wintarget_provider.msi mentioned here http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowshpcitpros/thread/617ef13b-adab-455e-b3c5-8a2635918618 ? I can`t find it to download.
