Device not found
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2026 3:05 am
Hi everyone,
I am a new StarWind VSAN Free user and I am currently learning the ropes with VSAN technology.
I only have a single node right now. I have set up a Windows Server 2025 environment and installed the StarWind VSAN Free Windows application (bare-metal, not using the CVM). I successfully created a standalone device named imagefile1 and added it to a target.
When I list the targets using the enumDevicesTargets.ps1 script, it shows up correctly:
And here is the corresponding device entry from my starwind.cfg:
Does anyone know why the maintenance script might be failing to find the device, or if I am formatting the $deviceName parameter incorrectly? or if there is no maintance mode to enable because I am a standalone node? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

However, when I try to test other scripts, specifically MaintenanceMode.ps1/ CheckMaintenanceMode.ps1, the CLI returns the following warning:Target:

For reference, here are the parameters I am using in the script:WARNING: Device {imagefile1} not found
Code: Select all
