To start se'arate com'uters to individually assigned iSCSI targets( you can use DHCP
reservations& ) reservation lets you s'ecify the target( or *root 'ath(* and host name
o'tions for each com'uter& "hen you s'ecify these o'tions at the sco'e level or at the
server level( all clients use the same root 'ath and host name when the clients receive
leases from the sco'e or from the server& The current iSCSI im'lementation does not
su''ort single image instancing& Therefore( you cannot use sco'e and server o'tions to
s'ecify the root 'ath&
efore you configure the DHCP service( make sure that you are not trying to host DHCP
on a network that already has an active DHCP server& If you do this( you may disru't
service for users of the e+isting server&

sco'e is a range of valid IP addresses that are availa-le for lease to the DHCP
client com'uters on the network& "e recommend that each DHCP server in the
environment have at least one sco'e that does not overla' with any other DHCP

Note Bach iSCSI initiator and target must have a worldwide uniCue name&
Ty'ically( this is an IAN name& The single IAN name a''lies to all iSCSI host
-us ada'ters (H)s) and to the !icrosoft iSCSI Software Initiator in the system&
=ou should configure an iSCSI H) to have a different IAN name than the IAN
name that is used -y other iSCSI H)s and -y the !icrosoft iSCSI Software
Initiator& The !icrosoft iSCSI Initiator service will automatically select an IAN
name that is -ased on the "indows com'uter name( the domain name( and the
!icrosoft&com domain name address& If the "indows com'uter name or the
domain name is changed( the IAN name also changes& However( an administrator
can s'ecifically configure the IAN name to -e a fi+ed name instead of a generated
name& If an administrator does this( the fi+ed name must -e maintained as a
worldwide uniCue name&
If you configure the iSCSI client com'uter and the DHCP server so that the iSCSI client
com'uter receives a reserved IP address from the DHCP service( it will a''ear as if you
had configured the iSCSI client com'uter to receive a static IP address from the DCHP
service&
Note The DHCP server is running "indows Server #$$%&
The server is now configured to 'rovide an address and the a''ro'riate o'tions to this
client& Some im'lementations might reCuire you configure o'tion ;$ (ClassID) and sets
the string value of &6EClient& This setting is configured as a server o'tion and is
dis'layed together with each reservation& If this o'tion is missing after installation( install
