5 Virtual storage

Finally the iSCSI disk must be registered with the -intnet option to tell the iSCSI

initiator to use internal networking:

VBoxManage addiscsidisk --server 10.0.9.30

--target iqn.2008-12.com.sun:sampletarget --intnet

The target address must be specified as a numeric IP address, as there is no DNS

resolver for internal networking.

The virtual machine with the iSCSI target should be started before the VM using it

is powered on. If a virtual machine using an iSCSI disk is started without having the
iSCSI target powered up, it can take up to 200 seconds to detect this situation. The
VM will fail to power up.
