Microsoft Initiator not working
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:26 pm
I have installed the trial version of StarWind on a Dell PowerVault NAS box and created an image file of 1Gb. I then installed the Microsoft Initiator 2.0 on a file server running Win2K3. From the file server, I can login to the target and the discovery and target tabs show the StarWind target. However, I do not see a drive letter and I'm not sure what steps I should take next to make the target drive available. Under Target Properties/Devices/Advanced tab, I see the following information:
Type: Disk
Device Number: 1
SCSI Address: Port 2, Bus 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0
Device Interface Name: \\?\scsi#disk&ven_rocket__&prod_imagefile_______&rev_0001#1&2afd7d61&0&000000#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c9
Legacy Device Name: \\.\PhysicalDrive1
Volume Path Names:
The Device Interface Name appears confusing. Does this look correct? Also, when I go to the BoundVolumes/Devices tab and click on 'bind all', the Device Interface Name is added to the list as show above.
I am obviously missing something. Can you tell me where to go from here?
Thanks!
Joe
