Hello,

I just setup my first 2-node StarWind HA iSCSI target.
But I'm a little confused now...

How can I connect to it to be 'HA'.
If I enter the IP address of one of the nodes, it's not HA.
Isn't there a dedicated IP address for the target?
Or am I overlooking something?

p.s. Is the iSCSI target active-active?
So the load is balanced between both nodes?

Hi,
The iSCSI target is active-active, so you need to add both IPs to the initiator when connecting to HA.
Please refer to these manuals for more information on the iSCSI initiator config:
