Mapping whole drive in SPTI mode is a very bad idea. This mode was designed to share tape drives and burners, not high-performance hard disks (as SPTI is one-request-per-time designed by MS). If you need to share whole drive - use DiskBridge instead of raw SPTI mapping. Ok, is there "easy"...

Are there some set...

Re: Just to clarify!

You are saying that by changing "iscsi path" my client should "recognize" this as new drive and configure it properly? What I'm trying to achieve is the same (like in your cluster sample) but for data disk I want to configure data bridge instead of image.

Just to clarify!

I've downloaded trial from your site, created new host, added diskbridge as device (bridge to raid-5 scsi array). On client I've installed MS iSCSI, configured it. Drive is displayed in disk manager, but when I want to partition it, error is displayed. I this because I am using a trial? With images ...
