This is from another forum, not a WHS forum. It is a bit more hardware related than I manage, so I thought I would ask- is this correct ?
" I stumbled upon the proposition of using iscsi targets with whs
somewhere; can't remember where. Sadly this doesn't work directly
because the initiator does not start until after whs has taken control
of the drives (whs will complain about missing drives at this point).
If you instead ran whs inside a virtual machine, which would not start
until after the host os has started, then use that host os as an iscsi
initiator, then whs will see the iscsi targets as local drives. Hell,
whs will see the mapped network drives the host os has as local drives
from within the vm as well.
This allows you to add raid protected iscsi or smb shares to a whs
pool. Granted you will have to segment those targets into 2tb
partitions before adding them. "
In theory, yes. There is no reason why this shouldn't work in the manner suggested, but I don't see the point! WHS is designed to be simple and cheap, this proposal doesn't meet either of these but could be interesting for an enthusiast.
