StarWind Software

hi
we have currently being having issue's the past few days the event log shows these errors frequently

Target failed to respond in time for a login request.
Target sent an invalid iSCSI PDU. Dump data contains the entire iSCSI header.

Starwind is running on the hyper-v host which is running windows server 2008 R2
and we are getting the error on a windows server 2008 r2 guest running sql server 2008 clustered

can you please help me solve the problem

if you need any more information just ask

thanks in advance

There's a lot to ask here
First of all I'd like to know which device are we talking about: is it an image file device, HA, or something else?
Is your SAN separated from your LAN (cluster doesn't try to communicate over the SAN ports, switches are separate, etc)
based on these answers I will be able to aim my further questions more precisely

sorry wasn't sure where to start
its a HA image starwind runs on the host of both sql cluster nodes VM's
it use's 2 switchs for san traffic one is a server switch with just server traffic and one is a dedicated switch for sync and the other san channel

thanks

So far it looks like a misconfiguration on the cluster connections step.
I would really appreciate a diagram showing servers, NIC ports and switches, as well as IPs assigned to the ports.
Also, please include which IPs are used for sync and which IPs are used to discover the SAN devices + connect to them.

hi sorry for the delay in replying

after the problems i've decided to move starwind onto a dedicated server and using one of the hyper-v hosts as a failover san only

it appears that it maybe a network card issue on one of the server's as when it was just connected to the other server it was fine

thanks for trying to help

Thanks for the update!
