iSCSI LUs can be accessed through their targets using the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. Discovered through iSNS or through the target portal, all iSCSI targets that are available will be displayed as available targets by the Initiator.
If its underlying volume is mounted read-only by the storage server, or if it is a snapshot copy of another LU, an iSCSI LU will also be read-only. In turn, if an LU is read-only, then any file systems contained within it will also be read-only. Clients accessing such read-only file systems will not be able to change any part of them, including file data, metadata or system files.
If Microsoft Windows clients are required to access read-only NTFS file systems over iSCSI, Microsoft Windows 2008 or Windows 2012 must be used.
