NetApp, Windows

A friend was having issues setting up iSCSI on Windows 2003 with a NetApp storage array. I know what you are thinking…, “Dude, 32 bit Windows 2003 is totally obsolete! Why would you still be running an OS with a Mainstream Support End Date of 2010?”

Well, this is what they have at the moment so I created a VM to create this HOWTO and figured I would post it in hopes of helping others.

This HOWTO covers installing the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator v2.08 on Windows 2003, Microsoft patches specific to the Windows Storport and storage subsystem, NetApp DSM 4.0 and NetApp SnaDrive for Windows 6.4.2 (v6.5 is not supported on Windows 2003). It does not cover the process of enabling Mutual CHAP but I guess I can add that at a later date. Although CHAP is weak from a security standpoint, its better than nothing I guess.

The HOWTO is here: iSCSI on Windows with NetApp

SoftPerfect Netscan vs. AngryIP

I set out to do a quick comparison between SoftPerfect Network Scanner (Netscan) and AngryIP because AngryIP seems to get more love. I don’t know why. Just spend 5 minutes with SoftPerfect Network Scanner and you will abandon AngryIP in a heartbeat. SoftPerfect Network Scanner is clearly a better application. Its faster, highly configurable and more feature rich than AngryIP. SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a must have for all Sysadmin or Security professionals.

Both are standalone executable for Windows so no installation is required. The scan results below (with defaults enabled) proves the speed test. Netscan is much faster.

AngryIP
Version: v3.2
Speed: 5 minutes to scan a /24
Max Threads: 10 threads at a time

SoftPerfect Network Scanner (Netscan)
Version: 5.4.11
Speed: 1 minute and 5 seconds to scan a /24
Max Threads: 50 theads at a time

See the .pdf for the interface differences between SoftPerfect Network Scanner and AngryIP here: Netscan vs AngryIP

Take them both for a spin and see for yourself.
