On windows 2003 servers - download and  install iSCSI initiator for Windows 2003

Then Open the iSCSi Initiator and use the Discover tab, type in the IP of your Ubuntu target, click Logon button

When you see the disk in disk mgr, initialize format select extended partition, then choose ntfs as usual.

Tomorrow, I'll put the process together for building a 2 node cluster.  From there, you can repeat the above process in order to present additional luns to your cluster for things like building a SQL cluster.
