I'm currently running runninga 2 node Windows Server 2003 R2 Ent SP2 Cluster (this also happen when I was running SP1) with around 7 StarWind iSCSI disks running on both nodes. I'm currently using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator 2.03

The first 5 disks formated without issue but the 6th and 7th disks take around 30mins to 1Hour to quickformat and generate the follow eventlog errors every few seconds. The hex included with the the event logs also a different disk fro the one being formated.

Hi,

Which type of iSCSI targets do you use?

Could you send the corresponding log files from the StarWind Service to my email?
Best regards,
Valeriy

I'm running StarWind 3.2.1 (build 20061130) and the disks are "ImageFile"'s which have been NTFS formated.

I will email the logs in this evening.

Thanks
