RE: Adding more iSCSI LUNs to existing MSCS 2000

Hi Mitch,

Reason you can't find anything on TechNet, is because it's not supported.
See FAQ link below for more details.

Q. Why isn't iSCSI supported with Windows 2000 clusters?

A. Because iSCSI Server clusters are just now being introduced, we
anticipate that most deployments will use Windows Server 2003. Technically
iSCSI clusters work for both Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 but
because of the anticipated deployments and the desire of avoiding various
testing, administrative and support costs, Microsoft has decided to focus
our efforts on Win2003 and to not support Windows 2000.
