Yes I have the same problem (RTM + Update Rollup 1) - but since I haven't got another SAN to test with, I am not sure whether the problem is with SCVMM 2012 or StarWind.Tiago Rost wrote:update,.. i have installed the RTM version of SCVMM 2012 and the same problem still exist.
In order to see it in SCVMM 2012 you need to refresh the Storage Provider. In a clustered configuration after allocation refresh the Hyper-V hosts and Cluster to have the LUN show up in the available storage for allocation as Available Storage or Shared VolumesTiago Rost wrote:hello again,
am facing a strange problem when creating logical LUN using SCVMM 2012, after adding the Starwind to the SCVMM 2012 RC when i create new logical LUN the system center console disconnected and then give me error 1700 "the virtual machine manager server on the SCVMM server stopped while this job was running. This may have been caused by a system restart" it only happen when creating LUN, but the thing is the LUN gets created in the Starwind Server but not shown in the SCVMM console. Is it because am using RC version of System Center?

No it still shows as 0 Gb. While experimenting I determined that if the Target is set up for clustering the LUN's show 0 Gb but when you set up a target without clustering enabled it shows the correct space and available space on the parent volume that the target's device is located on.Tiago Rost wrote:ticktok wrote:

did the allocation space problem solved with you, all my LUN is shown 0 GB of available space.

Please, see screenshot here: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/tmplink ... eSpace.PNG
It is normal that you see 0 GB of Available Capacity because we are SAN (not NAS). We can only allocate space for LUN, but can't say what part of space is currently used or free. We assume that all space is used.

Perhaps this picture illustrates what I was talking about better:-Anatoly (staff) wrote:Dear ticktok,
That is exatcly what Yuriy was talking about.
Please review the matter again:

Everything is illustrated on the screenshot below (my colleague provided it earlier actually):
