hi
i need to add second device (another Hard drive) to the same target.
i cannot find the way to add another device because it gives an error that the target is already defined.
can someone help me?
i am using ISCSI from the windows server and connected to the server that the starwind is installed on it.

Would you be so kind to specify what device type are you using (CDP, Deduplication, HA, etc)?

You need to right-click on the target and in the dropbox menu that will appear (I have attached the corresponding screenshot) you need to choose add a New Device to the Target option.

Well, then you need to update your SAN to the current version, which is 6.0

Since you are running pretty outdated version version you will probably need a new key, which will come free if your ASM is valid.
I will ask sales representative to contact you regarding this.

Dear sglaks,
Since you do have valid ASM I will answer you in PM on your mailbox (that will basically guarantee faster response time).
Thank you
