RAID 1 with FC drive

[s.price]

The description of Starport appears to allow for a mirror of a drive connected by FC to an iSCSI target. I have not been able to find a way to select the "local" FC drive to add it to a RAID 1 configuration. Any other documentation on how to mix the drive types for the RAID configuration?

You need to have RAW file system or NFTS to place RAID-ed image file. So if you don't see your FC disk in "Disk Management" there's no way for you to RAID it with StarPort. In any case StarPort is completely hardware agnostic so we really don't care about physical attachment type: FC or SCSI or SAS or whatever... Please make sure your FC disk is partitioned and provide a screenshot and StarPort log to us so we could find out why we cannot use it. For now I guess it's either non-partitioned or there's a sharing violation (disk is locked by somebody else).

We have existing drives with actives shares. We were looking for a way the present the current drives for iSCSI and replicate to an outside target.

It does not matter what's on your drives as we're not touching any information. We don't really care can Windows read it or not. You only need to have your hard disk visible in the Disk Management.

As you did not provide any StarPort logs or DM or Device Manager screenshots you keep StarWind Software support blindfolded... So again, in THEORY it should work. But devil is in the details.
