Hi,

I have been using StarWind 3.0 from the first day it was out, and i have this problem from day one. initiators are msiscsi 2.0.1
Every night at about 3 AM i get these lines in the error log and all IBV's stop working.

3/21 3:04:56 6d0 IBV: *ERROR* IBVolume_IoThread: IoReq 05865010 ReadFileEx(00000CCC) failed (err: 1450)!
3/21 3:04:56 6d0 IBV: *ERROR* IBVolume_IoCompleted: IoReq 05865010, file 00000CCC Error (1450), len 0 returned!

1450 - "No System Resources"

Either you've configured StarWind to use sparse file as disk storage or your machine runs very low in virtual memory. In first case - do reallocation of the storage making sure you either use pre-allocated disk image files or make sure there's enough disk space to allow them grow themself automagically, and in case of low virtual memory either add some more RAM to machine or increase paging file quota or find out who's real memory pig (what app starts to eat a lot at 3 A.M.).

Please let us know about your machine and StarWind (both) configurations and we'll continue investigation what's wrong with them.

P.S. "Crash" it's when application gets software error and goes down completely. If you've put it (app) into situation when it cannot work and it informs you (by writing to log or whatever) it's not a crash :)

Hi Shmaya,

Are there any process scheduled to 3 AM? Maybe a disk backup or something else?

Could you send your StarWind.cfg file and the service log file to my email?
What is the system (OS, CPU, RAM, hard drives)?

We'll analyze what is the problem and try to find a solution for it ASAP...
Best regards,
Valeriy
