Seeing no drives after connect - StarWind NVMe-oF Initiator

[DT@EU]

On Windows 2019 (uptodate) baremetal, Mellanox Connectx-6 card (latest driver as of today), the initiator successfully mounts the target, but the drive doesn't show up in disk management.

The same target mounts fine on another machine with a Connectx-4 card.

Not sure what else to do?

If others have the same issue, it was due to MultiPath.

Have to go into MPIO Properties via Server-Manager>Tools>MPIO

and on the Discover Multi-Paths tab, click "Add support for iSCSI devices", then the button 'ADD' within the "SPC-3 compliant" group.

After that, connecting mounts the drive.


---Suggestion for the devs: if possible to actually have a flag on the NVMEoF Initiator install to enable that?

Greetings,

Installing and enabling MPIO is a mandatory step for such a deployment. Glad to know that issue was resolved easily.
Passed your request to R&D team. Thanks for your collaboration!
