Fix no disks suitable for the cluster were found
iSCSI allows access to a remote server (target) disk by making it virtually available as a local disk. When you configure iSCSI SAN, the iSCSI target Server is configured and therefore offers access to the shared storage. The server that connects to the iSCSI Target is referred to as the iSCSI Initiator.
