1 - yes: IMG seems to work much better 2 - problem is that diskbridge does not map a VOLUME, but only hard disks separately, and that's useless since they are grouped in a RAID 5 volume :) It's possible to export a logical volume as an iSCSI target with the ImageFile plugin. This options is an obso...

Isaac, thank you for the log files. We are analyzing them and will let you know about the results ASAP.

Hi, 1) As Anton suggested, upgrade to the recent StarWind v3.5.1 2) Did you edited the StarWind.cfg file manually? There are several duplicated target names and device names in the file that leads to several devices failed to start. 3) Don't use StarPort on the client machines if it crashes. It's po...

I am having some difficulties with this to say the least. Here is my current setup - 2x windows 2003 64bit Iscsi Initiator (MS Client) and 1x 2003 32 Bit Iscsi Target Machine (starwind)(connected via Gbps)- I have setup the machines according to the guide that is posted under press, but nothing see...

Thanks for the clarification, this lets me know what we need to do. The specific situation is that each .img file contains a VMware virtual machine. We can work around this by suspending the VMs and backing up from the host systems. To be a little more specific- Can a .img file be safely backed up ...

Hi, ImageFile does not support online back-up in the current StarWind versions. We are working on a new feature to support the standard client-side buckups with VSS for any of our target types. Our owm VSS hardware provider will be used on the client side to support it. This feature is scheduled to ...

Hi, - telnet the port 3260 on localhost of StartWind server. It replies. - telnet the port 3260 on the IP of hte NICs of the StartWind server. It DOES NOT reply. - I checked the switch VLAN configuration, which is correct. It seems to be a network problem. Check your client machine whether it allows...

the child IBVolumes need RW access , but don't need to save any changes. They use auto-recover mode. and, with some other IBVolume.dll , the base image need not be RO The problem is if the base image is changed, the child IBVolumes being currently used by clients has no chances to keep their logica...

and someone else provide their own IBVolume.dll , which enables us to use an IBVolume file and its base Imagefile at the same time. (not read only) When the auto-recovered IBVolume clients reconnect to the server , they get updated files on its base Imagefile. I don't know whether they build their ...

first I created an Image file a.img , then I tried to create an IBVolume file b.ibv "based on existing image" but always received errors. -------------- at last , I removed the device a.img, and trid again to create an IBVolume image based on existing a.img, and I received no errors . ---...

- ImageFile.dll - turns a file, a partition or a volume into a virtual hard drive; how to turn a partition into a virtual hard drive ? -- I tried starwind, I thought it can only share a whole disk. can you guys tell me something about turning a partition into a virtual hard drive ? Sharing of a dis...

Hi,

Does the virtual environment use standard Ethernet frame size (1514 bytes) or it can be tuned to use Jumbo frames?

To get maximum throughput from your Coraid device and keep the client's CPU load low, it's recommended to use Jumbo frames (9014 bytes).

Hi, The NIC teaming technology creates a virtual NIC adapter that can be used by all system processes and services as any other NIC. So there is no problem for StarWind and StarPort to communicate with each other over a teamed NIC, while the NIC is properly configured and is able to send/receive TCP...

yes it is. Virtualized on a 64 bit machine (2003 server enterprise x64 with virtual server 2005 r2 sp1 x64 edition) a sbs2003 server guest and a 2000 server sp4 guest worked well.. (once corrected the "maxtransfer size parameter of the initiator) There could be some third-party filter driver i...

thankyou!

and it worked at first time.... boh....

Hi,

Do you mean that it works from the virtualized Win2000 machine and fails from the real one?

Have you tried doing the same things from a Win XP SP2 or Win 2003 SP1+ machine? Any differences?
