I had to apply the credentials to each of the Targets in the iSCSI Initiator, as laid out in the "Configuring CHAP in Hyper-V" section here:

Re: The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU

I upgraded both nodes to the latest version 8.0.0.12166 (16 May 2018) and attempted to run SyncHaDevice.ps1 on the node with the latest data again , but still no dice. PowerShell returns: PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell\SyncHaDevice.ps...

The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU

Hi, I'm running StarWind v8.0.0.11818.

Error status is given in the dump data. (Source: iScsiPrt, Event ID: 7) Target failed to re...

Re: NIC Replacement Instructions

Ivan- Great to work with you again, and thank you for the instructions. I thought I'd post to the forum in this case and help expand the knowledge base. As for throughput, these new NICs have 1GB channels, same as what's currently in there. The new model we got is: http://a.co/8jFE17v Certainly, 10G...

Re: iSCSI Initiator > Connect to Target > Log On to Target > Service Unavailable

There are two (2) nodes with identical hardware. Each node has two (2) physical drives: 1. A smaller Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB that Windows Server 2012, StarWind v8, and SQL Server 2014 are installed on. 2. A larger Seagate Barracuda HDD ST1000M003-1CH162 7200RPM 1TB, no RAID, that hosts the Quorum ...

Re: iSCSI Initiator > Connect to Target > Log On to Target > Service Unavailable

That got them back online. You're awesome, thank you! Another issue I'm running into now.
