Hi

Please let me know the settings to be done on starwind server so that 2 - esx servers can access the same iscsi target created on starwind server.

You have to enable "allow multiple concurent iscsi connections" checkbox while creating the device.
Please note that you have a maximum of 2 concurent connections in free version so if you're working with more than two machines this also can cause this issue.

I have an issue connecting to ESX4i boxes.. Once one host has created/formatted the VMFS volume the second host does not recognize the signature and wants to attach a new signature and fails.

When I get back to my lab, I can post the actual error.
