Could you please specify 10GB Chelsio iWARP network cards model to double-check this network card support iSER? Possibly StarWind could not recognize this NIC as iSER compatible. What StarWind version are you using? Chelsio T520-BT Starwind Build 8.0.0.12166 Is iSER needed for L1 (WB-)Cache syncing...
