Good!
We have plans to publish StarWind V8 Beta in about next 10 days.

Only SCVMM 2012 R2 along with Windows Server 2012 R2 has all needed bugfixes that allows to normally USE (not only run) our SMI-S Agent. StarWind V8 and SMI-S Agent you can normally ru...

nstylin777, Hi I'm trying to create a 2 node Hyper-V cluster using SCVMM 2012 SP1 (Server 2012) with Hyper-V R3 nodes (Server 2012) in a lab environment using the iSCSI SAN (a Server 2012 VM) and SMI-S Agent (v1.0). ...

Hi sumitshekhar1, Can you please suggest why I am still unable to add the disk on the Hyper-V Host through SCVMM. I suggest to perform this steps: 1) Restart StarWind SMI-S Agent service 2) Rescan of SMI-S provider in SC VMM 3) Refresh of HyperV host in SC VMM The Base OS of SCVMM is Win 2008 R2 SP1...

Will i have any issue using SP2 when it is out later this month?

Will give this a go as soon as i can get some time and i will let you know how it works.

OK. I will wait.

madmagi, Sorry for late reply. Please, try to add discovery portal (address of the host where StarWind service is running) to iSCSI initiators on HyperV hosts manually. Check that "empty" (in not connected status) target exists in the available targets list in iSCSI Initiators. After that:...

If yes could you please provide the steps to configure? It should be available. or SCVMM 2012 SP1 does it ? VMM should do this as a part of the disk a...
