Hello,
We have installed StarWind 5.7.1807 on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x32 with 2 LUN of 2TB, attached with SAS (IBM DS3512).
Windows disk manager detected disk with size correct, but StarWind not. First disk was detected correctly, second disk was detected incorrectly (~20TB!).
Can You help us with this?

How are you trying to map your disk? Thru the disk bridge or putting image file on top of it?

I assume it's GUI showing you incorrect size for underlying disk you want to create image on? Could you please provide a screenshot?

I have configured storage system on 3 volumes on 2TB. Now they are defined correctly. But there was other problem. If to assign to ESX one disk as physical in Starwind he is visible and it is formatted in ESX, but other two volumes in Windows vanish, though to ESX they have no relation. There can be problems hardware compatibility?

There are no dependencies on hardware. We're hardware agnostic.
It's absolutely not clear what you did and what you do and as you provide no feedback we ask for (logs & screenshots) it's very difficult to 1) understand what you're doing and 2) help you to solve your issues.
