Re: Extend size of HA imagefile

I'd suggest doing several steps:
- Break the HA device,
- Mount the images localy,
- Extend their size and format as needed,
- Create a new HA device with the changes applied to the image files.

Thanks.

Re: Clarification needed on the semantics of synchronization!

You should sync the server that was out for some reason for some time, ex. server B was out and came out of sync. You should sync server B. Actually StarWind should give you a tip. if you select a wrong direction - you should get an error message that "Partner server is out of sync". Thanks.

Re: Creating a huge volume

You can create either a simple image file which can be extended if needed. The only problem with multiple users access is described in this thread: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/forums/ ... t1392.html

Re: RAM Caching in V5.0

Right now caching is only available for the mirror devices. For other devices it will just not work. One of the next minor releases (5.1 probably) will support caching for other virtual devices.

Re: MS iSCSI Initiator vs StarPort iSCSI Initiator

That's probably the only difference between StarPort and MS. StarPort does not allow multipathing at the moment. However, StarPort allows some advanced features like Mirroring.

Thanks.

Re: Cant connect to ISCSI target

We actually allow users chose both the ports and the firewall settings, so, in case one decides to actually choose a different port, we are not hard coding it to the program.

Thanks.

Most probably, but we can not say 100% at this point.

Re: Unable to login to management console after uname/pwd change

This was a known issue. Try to update your build of StarWind (just download the trial version from the web site and apply your license).
