Good to know the terminology. My focus isn't really around servers either, it's around iscsi booting clients in libraries, public kiosks, and thin clients. We have several libraries across the US with 1k+ nodes that would benefit from common images (and one change point, better support as well.) We'...

I don't know if this is a bug or not. I create a new Snapshot w/ CDP and i get these options Create_New.png Whereas if I attache a previously created disk, I get these options: Mount_Existing.png I see the Copy on Write & Copy on Write - Discard on the existing device. Is this something that sho...

Looks like some of this is possible by recreating the device or target with the same name, but for some reason it feels like i'm rebuilding from scratch.

Just a couple things i've been noticing that add to time to testing (Let me know if i'm nuts btw.) Couple things that would be nice: Ability to change clustering setting on Target after creation (from single initiator to multiple) Change cache mode & size on device after creation Change operatio...

Quick question. The feature that is being proposed, does it allow multiple initiators to connect to a single target, and each initiator receives their own individual journal for redirect?

If you need more information around the question, please let me know.

Thanks for the update. We've been looking at iSCSI SAN products that we can boot a fleet of physical workstations and potentially servers off of. The hardware is all the same, but it would be good if they could all connect to the same target, and then have their writes redirected. It looks exactly l...

Excellent. Sorry, I wasn't thinking when I said cow on the second post :oops: It's very interesting, and quite competitive after reading the link that starwind went with ROW. most competitors (from what we've noticed in testing) implement COW, which we've noticed causes some stuttering even on a hig...

Excellent. even if there wasn't build in TFTP & DHCP options, the COW (ROW) is what I'm looking for... During next few weeks there should be released an updated version of StarWind (V5.9) with built-in custom TFTP and DHCP servers and with some dedicated iSCSI diskless boot options. No we don't ...

Anton, Is StarWind still planning on doing the embedded TFTP stuff with COW? The functionality is very similar to what Citrix offers with their provisioning servers, but the Starwind product is much simpler (and cheaper) to purchase. Having the ability for multiple machines to connect to a single in...
