I suspect the Server service starts before the AoE disk is available.mdoss wrote:Environment...
1 - Win2k03 SP1 Server connected via Intel Dual GB NIC

2 - CORAID SR420's
Issue #1 -
We have created shares on the SR420's, but when we reboot the windows server it removes the shares and we have to recreate them.
The problem with dynamic disks is they work unreliably with remote storage. Microsoft ever removed support of dynamic disks in their software iSCSI initiator 2.xQuestions #1 -
We did set them up the SR420's as Dynamic disks. Why is this not recommened?

I can add the AoE devices but on reboot they will not be connected and will no longer be listed in StarPort Control. They can be added agin and work fine until another reboot. I have "Force Set the Configuration String" and set "Automount the device". I have tried the service dependency and still it does not work. I have also made sure to create the disks as GPT partitions and a "Basic Disk".
