Hi Mike, 1) Use DiskBridge instead of SPTI for hard drives. 2) The MS iSCSI initiator is recommended for production systems. 3) To access a mounted iSCSI drive on the client, use the Disk Manager to initialize and format the disk. 4) For large hard drives (>2TB) the client system should be Windows S...

But when i shut off active cluster node, passive node cant connect to shared disk before i reboot iSCSI target. iSC...
Do you mean you need StarWind to listen to 2 different TCP/IP ports? It is possible, but you need to edit the config file (StarWind.cfg) manually and add the following rules: <connections> <connection value="127.0.0.1:3260"/> <connection value="192.168.0.1:7777"/> ... </connectio...
