John, thank you for the informative update!

Lol.. I can't seem to get a break, typos are my life.. or a subconscious slip.. accents on the the mind

Had an awesome meeting with Mac Craft this morning. He identified an issue with the HP NC553i 10 Gb Dual Port Lan on Motherboard Adapter in the BL490c Gen 7 blade server we are using. It has Emulex iSCSISelect Firmware version v4.2.401.2215 currently installed. Max was more precise, but I believe th...

I setup [both] Microsoft iSCSI Software Target [and] Starwind iSCSI SAN on the same server, in the same environment. I created a "logical" Interface for the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target on the same server so that I could continue to run on port 3260 I also used the same iSCSI Target IQN...

I found I could download the Hyper-V Server 2012 setup logs from X:\Windows\panther Nothing more useful than what I already knew: It says "all is in order" drivers supported, IBS in place, even partitions correctly, but then fails to format. I plan to take in the other hardware client to c...

I got time to run another test this evening. I took the Windows Server 2008 R2 that was running Starwind iSCSI SAN and placed it on the network the Blade server client was booting from. Same behavior, so that indicated to me (a) its probably not specific to WS2012 or WS2008R2 (b) its probably not sp...

Actually, I'm really confused by the whole process here. Why are you booting a Hyper-V server to an iSCSI volume? Even if you get it running, I'm almost certain that it isn't supported. I understand that you may be testing boot to iSCSI or something like that, but the title of the post is misleadin...

I worked on the problem some more after work last night. I setup an entirely different test bed at home with different hardware Using Windows 2008R2 as the host for the Starwind iSCSI SAN software and an Intel iSCSI Remote boot card for the client I was able to create the Target and install Hyper-V ...

A thought occurred to me. The VHD format can handle "multiple" partitions in a single volume. Hyper-V Server 2012 like many Windows installs "partitions" a recovery partition of 350 MB at the top of the Volume and installs to the second partition in the lower half of the volume. ...

I had to stop work on this to continue work on a different project. However I did get further information before I had to stop. 1st - I restored a converted VHD to IMG file of a Hyper-V Server 2012 install that was achieved by using the Microsoft iSCSI Target Service. That is the VHD was created by ...

Max,

Thank you.

Yes I tried that.

I also deleted all targets and devices.

Then created a new target with a single virtual image file, same behavior it still failed to format with the same error number.

Hello, I've a problem trying to format the iSCSI HA device created as a target during Hyper-V Server 2012 installation. Specifics: HP BL470c G7 blade server NC553i Emulex iSCSI Select isolated iSCSI switch HP DL380p G8 server StarWind Version 6.0.5569 Multiple HA device targets have been created for...

Hello, StarWind Version 6.0.5569 Upon attempting to perform a Full install on Windows Server 2012 Standard, the following Error message occurs. [see attachment for a screen capture of the Error Message] Revising the install to exclude the [ PowerShell management library for StarWind Services ] allow...

First, Thank you for the quick reply. Second, I just wanted to be sure that's GPT instead of some proprietary format I've never heard of called FPT . I can easily understand a typo from the position of the keys on the keyboard. But I wanted to make sure. And is there an announcement forum or subcrip...

Hello, I'm looking for some clarification and advise regarding your products for creating a 2 node shared nothing SAN using two HP DL380p G8 servers for storage running WS2012 Standard. We have 4 additional, separate servers, running Hyper-V 2012 to act as Hyper-V hosts. I've read your Whitepaper &q...
