I have set the authentication for the Starwind server to Anonymous (after numerous tries with different accounts and passwords)
The "StarWind SMI-S Agent: Storage Provider for SCVMM" dated April 2012 is full of obsolete screen shots, so I'm trying to match things up as best I can.
I need to get this to work and am out of ideas. No matter what I do at this point, the wizard always hangs when discovering the provider and it always generates this error.
StarWind is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, that machine is a member of domain. The SCVMM server and the StarWind server on the same subnet, as are the two Hyper-V hosts. The Hyper-V hosts can see the iSCSI targets. There's no direction on what the target config should be. Should the Hyper-V hosts be connected to the targets? There's just not enough documentation on how to get this to work and no mention of troubleshooting steps.
Please help!
