This issue already corrected in new build that will be avaliable soon.ticktok wrote:Hi Yurly,
Another issue which is unlikely to be a problem in production environments is that if you remove all LUNs from a target in VMM 2012 then the SMI-S agent deletes the folder on which the LUNs reside, making it impossible to create further LUNs.
Please, specify version of OS that you using. Maybe you can tell us some details of your config. Our QA still have no fortune to reproduce this issueticktok wrote: I have installed, reconfigured, rebooted etc. I made sure the drive path was pointing to the correct folder but the issue of Targets with clustering set as an option still do not return the available storage of the Volume on which the target resides.
Yes the SMI-S was configured for IBV devices.Yuriy (staff) wrote:Dear Ticktok,

Please confirm that you encountered this issue only when SMI-S configured to create and delete IBV devices.

In the storage panel for either a cluster or an individual host the ability to add an iSCSI array is greyed out and unavailable.
I posted a request to this forum:-

but did not mention that the Storage array was StarWind
I'm having the same issue... Do You have any solution?
I'm using SCVMM 3.0.6005.0 + SMI-S Provider v0.61.

The highlighted portion sums what I expect from SCVMM 2012 + Starwind SAN + SMI-S provider.Simple Rapid Provisioning - Storage arrays can create copies of virtual disks very efficiently with minimal load on the host. Using VMM 2012 you can leverage this capability to rapidly create virtual machines. VMM 2012 knows about the capabilities of the storage array. It knows when a logical unit contains a file system and a virtual disk. Through VMM 2012, you can create a template with a virtual disk on a logical unit. Finally, VMM 2012 can instruct the array to create a copy of a virtual disk by provisioning new storage on the array using snapshot or cloning technology. VMM 2012 then takes care of exposing the storage to the host, mounting the file system, and associating the virtual disk to the virtual machine.

How about SMI-S provider status ? have release date ?
