Missing LUNs

Postby alrcsd » Tue Sep 28, 2010 1:51 pm

I have created 3 logical drives using my RAID card, installed Windows 2008 enterprise server and Starwind on the first logical drive. On the other two logical drives I have appx. 18000GB of storage. I hae setup Starwind with the 2 logical drives but when I connect with VSphere I can only connect to one LUN even though the other shows up in the VSphere iscsi dynamic. What am I missing in my configuration? :?:

Please tell me what option do you use to provision those volumes,
I have an idea that if you use hard disk->physical you get the device ID's which are nearly the same and VMware does try to recognize them as one target. Please confirm or discard my thoughts so I'll be able to provide a correct solution for you

You are correct, I did select "hard disk->physical".

Ok, you need to open the starwind.cfg file (can be found in the installation folder) using text editor, then find the line which contains the target info (search by the target/alias name). Then you should add this [SerialId="0102030405060708"] to first target's properties and [SerialId="0807060504030201"] to second target's properties.

E.g.
<device name="DiskBridge1" target="iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:hk-mp7-diskbridge" file="\\?\usbstor#disk&amp;ven_multi&amp;prod_flash_reader&amp;rev_1.00#058f0o1111b1&amp;0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}" asyncmode="no" clustered="no" readonly="no" alias="diskbridge" CacheMode="none" Serial Id="0807060504030201"/>

<device name="DiskBridge2" target="iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:server2-disk2" file="\\?\usbstor#disk&amp;ven_multi&amp;prod_flash_reader&amp;rev_1.00#058f0o1111b1&amp;0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}" asyncmode="no" clustered="no" readonly="no" alias="diskbridge" CacheMode="none" Serial Id="0102030405060708"/>
