I am creating a 2 node Hyper-V cluster with an SMB Witness using the CreateHASmbWitness.ps1 script. However it seems to have created both sides with the same target name/IQN. This seems to be causing problems with cross connecting iscsi between the two nodes. How do I change the iqn name? Do I edit the HA.swdsk file under resources>storage for the current node and under the "<node id="2"... for the partner node?

This is the script CreateHASmbWitness script I used. Not sure how to specify the target names/IQNs in it. I tried setting the $storageName parameter but that gave a connection error when I ran the script.

param($addr="192.168.254.24", $port=3261, $user="root", $password="starwind",
$addr2="192.168.254.23", $port2=$port, $user2=$user, $password2=$password,
#common
$initMethod="Clear",
$size=1024,
$sectorSize=4096,
$bmpType=1,
$bmpStrategy=0,
$smbWitnessFilePath="\\nas1.hamilton.local\witness\Starwind\vSANVM_witness.dat",
$smbWitnessUsername="witness",
$smbWitnessPassword="xxxxx",
#primary node
$imagePath="My computer\E\vSAN",
$imageName="vSANVM",
$createImage=$true,
$storageName="",
$targetAlias="vSANVM",
$poolName="pool1",
$syncSessionCount=1,
$aluaOptimized=$true,
$cacheMode="wb",
$cacheSize=1024,
$syncInterface="#p2=192.168.252.132:3260" -f $addr2,
$bmpFolderPath="",
$createTarget=$true,
#secondary node
$imagePath2="My computer\E\vSAN",
$imageName2="vSANVM",
$createImage2=$true,
$storageName2="",
$targetAlias2="vSANVM",
$poolName2="pool1",
$syncSessionCount2=1,
$aluaOptimized2=$false,
$cacheMode2=$cacheMode,
$cacheSize2=$cacheSize,
$syncInterface2="#p1=192.168.252.133:3260" -f $addr,
$bmpFolderPath2="",
$createTarget2=$true
)

Here is the HA.swdsk file for the HV1 node.
