StarWind Software

Hi,
I am wondering if its possible to use Starwind to share out a piece on Non Standard SCSI Hardware.

The unit is a NCipher nShield F2.

Is there anyway I can try and get Starwind to interrogate this device?

Although it does contain a 4 gig Hard drive, it is not presented to the system as a Standard HD, but as an unknown device until the Drivers are installed.

I'd like to try and interrogate this device, and use an ISCSI Initiator on a Virtual Guest machine to interrogate and install the Drivers on the guest and connect to it.

Is there anyway I can use Starwind to see this device, which is not present using the Standard GUI.

cheers

If it has SCSI device ID and symbolic link - we can map it. Drop us a message to info@rocketdivision.com and we'd send you utility to list all of the symbolic links and try SPTI over picked up device name.

SPTI mapping is not recommended with non-standard disk devices.

Instead try using of the ImageFile virtual iSCSI targets over the disk. So your remote clients need know nothing about the disk's internals. They will see a SCSI-3 compatible iSCSI drive and work with it without problems.

Is this util still available?

cheers

Probably not...
