Hi,

i'm testing out the free version of Starwind. All is working fine except that my vmware infrastructure is not able to format a target in VMFS format. Any clue?

Tnx for the support!

Hi,

What error messages/exceptions appear when you try to format the drive in vmfs? What is the size of the target that you have created?

Thanks

problem solved, tnx. A target of 512 Mb is not formatted by esx, raising the size to 300Gb did the trick! Tnx for the support!
