Hi Geoff,
1) Please use the FilerView to remove the filer nodename.
2) Click Right-Click on My Computer - manage - disk management
   Write Signature -> Format and assign the letter (e.g. N:\ = NetApp)
If you have any questions please let me know.
Best Regards
Neto

Subject: Re: iSCSI HOWTO question - Summary
Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly.
Turns out I had two problems:  1) I had the wrong nodename in the node 
in the igroup (I had the filer's nodename, not the Windows system's 
nodename), and 2) I'm a UNIX system admin so I didn't know how to 
"mount" the drives to the Windows system.
Special thanks to Antonio Jose Rodrigues Neto and Michael Smith (both 
from NetApp) for their input and quick responses.
Thanks again,
Geoff
