StarWind Software

Hello,
I'm using Starwind 6.0.5189 and I'm trying to add a new Device->Raw Device->Disk Bridge to the target on a virtual machine Win 2008 R2 on ESXi 5 host.
VM disks are standard Vmware SCSI disks connected to standard LSI SAS controller. They are visible in Windows Disk Management Console.
When running add new device to the target wizard I'm choosing Raw Device->Disk Bridge, but the disk list is empty - no disk available for adding.
When I add to the VM a IDE disk, I can see and add is as Disk Bridge.

Could you tell me where can be the problem ? SCSI disks are not supported ??

thanks for help

Somebody is keeping handle opened on a raw device (grab StarWing log to see it). Also it's not recommended to raw map devices as it's the WORST performance method. Stick with image files.

I don't understand what you mean.

Here is what I can see in the log file:
