I get the feeling I'm stumbing in the dark here ;-) Maybe I've missed that all important whitepaper on all of this. Please tell me ;-) Hang on, will finish the video I promise.

So what is it? I Googled it and nothing...

Cheers, Rob.

:)
I guess it is a copy-paste localization error.
This is the last wizard step which shows you what IP addresses and target names you should use on the iSCSI initiator side to connect the recently created multi-node (clustered) device.
It should be "Use the following addresses to connect $device_name" or "Use the following addresses to connect the device"
We have already fixed it. The build will be updated soon.

I always feel bad reporting minor issues like this because I know English isn't your first language. When I stepped back and thought about how one connects iSCSI to a mirrored SAN, it because obvious what it was trying to tell me.

Which prompts me to ask another question in another topic ;-)

Cheers, Rob.

Don't feel bad please.
Such minors are important because they confuse users without rich experience in iSCSI, high availability, multipathing.
Feel free and let us know about any things in StarWind you would like to see implemented in the different way. And we'll try to implement/fix it.

For me personally, it would make more sense for it to say something like:

"These are the targets for use in configuring multipath iSCSI (MPIO)"

We're trying to get rid of an "iSCSI", "MPIO" and other words keeping all the housekeeping background, silent and simple...

One has to ask "Why"? It's not making it simpler IMO, it's making it less clear to use non-standard terms.

We're trying to avoid ANY buzz-words and keep things simple and encapsulated.
