Does someone work with iSNS Server in Windows 2008 R2 SP1?
It loses my StarWind iSCSI targets, but it keeps MS Initiators. iSCSI targets appear in iSNS's iSCSI Fabrics after registering of iSNS in StarWind Server. Later they just dissapear.
I use 2 independent iSNS servers with default settings.
Can anyone help me?

Can you see the sessions in the StarWind Management Console (iSCSI Sessions tab)?

Target is not clustered. I see a session from initiators. There are no sessions from iSNS. There are no tries to connect from iSNS in logs.

Targets don`t have to be clustered for using iSNS.
Also I just have tested in out lab work with iSNS and everything works fine for now. How long it takes for targets to disappear from iSNS?
I have created new target and it worked fine.

I reconfigured iSNS servers list in StarWind so targets appeared in iSCSI Fabrics.
Targets disappeared from first iSNS server after 17 mins and from second iSNS server after 19 mins. I didn't check fabrics state every minute so times are inaccurate.
I tried to recreate targets earlier and they disappeared too.

Pretty strange. Send us plz logs from StarWind (%Program Files%\StarWind Software\StarWind\logs\) on support. Also I`ll will try to recreate it our lab.
