I'm using the free version and have the server side set up. My esxi boxes have no problem finding the initiators and adding them to the iscsi adapter. However, when I go to add the luns as storage it just sits on "Create VMFS datastore." It will eventually time out - a couple times taking my esxi management tools down. Please help!

Is there anything weird inside StarWind logs? Do you happen to have one under your hands? Please either quote or zip whole log and send back to support@starwindsoftware.com for analysis. Thanks!

well, I'm not sure I'd know what's weird in the logs but I don't see anything like a failure error! I'm emailing them to the support email
