First,I'M Very Happy To Use StarWind,It's A Very Good Soft.
I'm A Chinese User!
I see This In Conf File.
#
# SPTI-specific device parameters (optional)
# -timeout:nnn - SCSI command execution timeout (in seconds). Default is 108000 (30 hours).
# -share:"<rw|r>" - to allow multiple initiators to access the device (shared mode)
# -sessions:nnn - set maximum number of initiators allowed to mount the device in shared mode
# -readonly:<no|yes> - to export hard drives in readonly mode
#
So
I write
{
add "\\.\PhysicalDrive0" "Test" -sessions:"20" -readonly:"yes"
}
But It Seems That Tt's No Function.
There's Only One Initiator Can Connect And Worked!
Any Other Initiators Get A Error Information!

Try this:
Code: Select all
add "\\.\PhysicalDrive0" "Test" -share:"r" -sessions:"20" -readonly:"yes"
Also, you could be restricted by your license type.
You may only be allowed 1 client to connect to StarWind.

Hi,
You need use anadditional parameter: -share:"r" to allow several initiators to open the device simultaneously.

Can You Tell "R" and the "RW" difference?
"R"="Read"?
"RW"="Read And Write"?
But If "R"="Read"?"RW"="Read And Write"?
Then “readonly:"yes"” Not Have Been Unnecessary???
So I Have a little puzzled ~ hope could explain me !!!

Hi,
'-readonly:yes' - sets that the hard drive in Readonly-mode
'-share:r' - allows sharing the disk between several initiators in readonly mode
'-share:rw' - allows sharing the disk in R/W mode, but this should be used only if the disk is a SCSI one and a SAN filesystem or a Clustering environment is used to access the disk.
Best regards,
Valeriy

Thank You!
Maybe I Can Do Chinese Language Interface For You!
Thank you for your kind proposal. Unfortunately I do not see a way for us to keep such a translation up-to-date and always in sync with the current version of the product. We, however, will discuss if we can maintain custom, non oficially supported by RDS, resources downloads for our customers and will get back to you if weill decide to process with it. Thank you!
