Click "iSCSI" from the lest panel and click "to create an iSCIC disk..." or select it from the TASKS  dropdown list from the right top corner

Select the volume Q: 7.93 GB then click "Next". 
Q is a virtual disk which created from the storage pool.

Type "iscsi01" in the Name textbox then click "Next"

Use "7.9" GB for the disk size and make sure "Dynamically Expanding" is selected, click "Next"

By default, "New iSCSI Target" is selected because there is no existing iSCSI Target in this server.

10.0.0.1 is the IP address of Domain Controller DC01. We will use it as the first iSCSI initiator
Certainly, it is available to use another name from the "Type" dropdown list  to set up the initiator such as FQDN and so on

The first iSCSI initiator is created. The second will be created later as another practice

Click "Next"
