RAM Splash

Here is a step-by-step Walkthrough:

  1. Add iSCSI Target Server role on Windows Server.
  2. Adjust the firewall rules to allow iSCSI service to go through.
  3. Add a registry value AllowLoopBack = 1 to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\iSCSI Target to make sure the iSCSI Target allows the LoopBack mode
  4. Create a virtual disk as a RAMDisk
    1. New-IscsiVirtualDisk -Path "ramdisk:testRAM.vhdx" -Size 1GB
  5. Create a target iSCSI
    1. New-IscsiServerTarget -TargetName targetRAM -InitiatorIds @("IPAddress:X.X.X.")
  6. Launch the iSCSI Initiator for the Server Manager console.
  7. Connect to the iSCSI target created in Step 5.
Windows Server - add iSCSI Target Server Windows Server - launch iSCSI initiator

Sounds like a very interesting idea to set up a RAMDisk through iSCSI target.
