Syncronization issues

My setup consist of Starwind 5.5, 2 Server 2008R2 Hyper v Hosts, 2 Server 2008R2 Starwind hosts.

I am getting iscsi connection errors on the iscsi host boxes in the windows event log, I have replaced cables and NIC's and still getting the same errors. With 5.4 my HA cluster would stay synced 90% of the time. Now that I have upgraded to 5.5 I am getting yellow exclamation marks over the targets, yet they say they are synced, what is the problem them? Auto Synch after failure is turned on as well.

Can you provide us with a diagram of your infrastructure including wiring and IP addresses?

Would this be detailed enough? Our main switch that those servers are connected to just uplink to 3 other switches that the rest of the company devices are connected to.

edit: the pic is a little large, the little bit that is cutoff can be seen directly .

I have got your email, looking through the logs in the moment)
The yellow exclamation marks warn that one of the targets has gone out of sync, in the older versions these also warned about sync channel failure.

After talking with support it was determined my partner was too overloaded, it does have a heavy i/o load. I moved my partner to a test desktop system and everything has been working great since last week.

Case Closed , Now If I can get a new partner box as a x-mas gift :lol:
