I removed windows cluster ISCSI target server few days back since it was not needed and now its needed as we need since its a clustered storage space and we need this role for ISCSI storage to external server. Now when I add the role again I get this error

The name winiscsi is in use by the cluster already as network name or application name

I double check role is not installed . I even rebooted both

I'm not sure I understand. The nodes of the cluster should NOT have the iSCSI Target feature enabled. They should have the iSCSI Initiator feature enabled. The initiator is needed to access the iSCSI storage that is presented from a server or service that is external to the cluster.

Hi Adnan-Vohra,

Could you post the original error information or the screenshot about this error, I cant find out any similar error explain, we can not install the iSCSI target on any cluster node we need the separate server as the shared storage.
