Looking forward to hearing more, maybe VVOLS support?

After further digging it appears this issue is down to misconfiguration from my side - somewhat at least. For my test scenario I have been using Windows Server 2003 SP2. Starwind iSCSI was configured to use a sector size of 4096. However as it turns out Windows Server 2003 does NOT support a sector ...

I know Bohdan did many remote sessions and tests to look into this.
Did you guys figure out something?

I have been testing the new final version and seen some of the issues I saw during RC (which was fixed) come back. This setup is running: Starwind 8.0.6784 All LUN are created with 512 MB L1 write-back cache. vSphere 5.5 build 1623386 VM running Windows Server 2003 with SP2 slipstreamed - fully unat...

I just installed the updated build.
Before upgrade: 8.0.6441
After upgrade: 8.0.6694

This issue seems to be resolved now.

Thanks!

Maybe I did not sign up the right place, but I did not see anything regarding RC2 being out? I did however receive this e-mail on 30th March 2014: Dear Beta-Team member! You have received this email because you have registered on StarWind Beta-Testing program. We will contact you as soon as new beta...

I sent you an e-mail with info on remote access to my lab environment where you can reproduce the issue.
Let me know if you did not get it.

Very interested to try out v8 RC2 as well.
Any update?

Bohdan: I did not see any e-mail from you, did you send it already?

I have digged a bit more into this, very strange. Same thing happens with new clean LUN that was not expanded. If I create a VM on local storage on the ESXi host and then storage vmotion it to the Starwind iSCSI lun it continues to work fine without any corruption. However if I create a new VM on th...

First boot after unattended installation:

Hello!, I created a target with 2 devices. Both devices were created as 13 GB thick with 1024 MB L1 cache. I then expanded both devices from 13 GB to 20 GB. In ESXi (5.5) I added the LUNs as individual datastores (VMFS-3) and started creating new virtual machines. Up to the first 13 GB I did not exp...

Yes ImageFiles - thick.

Did you post it yet?
