    Hi,

    Please help to check the storage side first. Is the iSCSI target still enabled and connected to the initiator on the server side? If yes, please run services.msc and manually restart the Virtual Disk service on the windows server. Also see if disconnect/connect the target helps.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue

    Hey,

    As mentioned, try reconnecting iSCSI target and restart Virtual Disk service. The following thread might be helpful:

    In addition, you can try connective iSCSI target from a different vendors. StarWind VSAN can be used.
