Hello,
I am experiencing a configuration issue with Windows 2012 iSCSI Target Server and its SMS-I Provider.
I have a fresh install of Windows 2012 Server, added the iSCSI Target Server and Storages-based Storage Management roles/features. On which I installed the Windows8-RT-KB2758246-v2-x64 update and iSCSITargetSMISProvider. Firewall
is disabled.
I then open PowerShell and run Register-SmisProvider -ConnectionUri http://192.168.217.164:5985 but receive a ".. general error .." as per below.
I can register an SMISProvider for a NetApp SMI-S Provider okay, albeit it has a different TCP port.
I've tried registering the provider with HTTP and HTTPS, using FQDN vs IP address, ports 5985 and 5986 (a netstat -a shows 5985 listening)
So my question is, does the iSCSITarget SMI-S Provider register and work in the same way as other SMI-S providers with PowerShell? (I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe this SMI-S provider is only for use with VMM). If so, then I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions to help me troubleshoot.
Error
Register-SmisProvider : A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.
