Hi,

We have two problem with the new Starwind Version (StarWindx64 3.2).

Our Architecture =>
- 1 server NAS with Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 EN x64. On this waiter, we installed StarWind 3.2 64Bits Version and we created two ressources.
The first (an IBVolume) is for the data of SQL Server and the second (Image File) is for the quorum.
On this waiter we have 4 disc SAS in RAID 5.

- 2 server SQL Server with Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise EN x64 (SQL1 and SQL2), Microsoft iSCSI Initiator v2.02 and Cluster Service MSCS.

First Problem:
In the Windows Task Manager, StarWind 3.2 appear as a 32Bit program
although we download the 64Bits Version.

Second Problem:
When we create the first node of the Cluster with SQL1, the ressources become inacessible (Quorum and Data). Imposible to reach it with Cluster Administrator or Windows Explorer but when the cluster is Evict the Quorum and Data become acessible with Windows Explorer.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

StarWind.exe is a 32-bit application ever in the x64 version. It is used for configuring of the StarWind Service (the main module) is a 64-bit service.

Could you send me the StarWind service's log file for a failed session?
I suspect something wrong happens with the service that leads it to not respond in the case.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Valeriy
