Hi,

I'm running StarWind v8.0.0.11818.

We recently started getting (although not exactly sure when), two (2) repeated error events in your Windows System event logs:

The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU. Error status is given in the dump data. (Source: iScsiPrt, Event ID: 7)
Target failed to respond in time for a login request. (Source: iScsiPrt, Event ID: 43)

Also, all the HAImage devices are not synchronized and say Partner Node is not ready. I've tried running SyncHaDevice.ps1 to set them as synchronized but no dice there either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

First of all, we would suggest you update StarWind to the latest build. There are a lot of fixes for StarWindX library.
As I see from your explanation, StarWind became not synchronized on all nodes.
You should select the node with the latest data according to this KB article.
Then on the correct side you start SyncHaDevice.ps1 script with selecting device you want to mark as synchronized.

I upgraded both nodes to the latest version 8.0.0.12166 (16 May 2018) and attempted to run SyncHaDevice.ps1 on the node with the latest data again, but still no dice.

PowerShell returns:

PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell\SyncHaDevice.ps1
Synchronize device HAImage1
Exception calling "Synchronize" with "1" argument(s): "Error:
101 Failed: operation cannot be completed.. "


This is what the management console currently shows:

It looks like an issue with headers.
Could you please log a support case?
