Starwind with Unix on VMWare

[czar]

Hi Admins,

I am working as a Unix admin and was looking if we could add starwind as a part of our upcoming infrastructure implementation.

Perhaps am not that expert in storage technologies and hence facing problem while assigning LUNs while testing on my personal laptop. What I have is,

-->Windows 7 machine having guest operating system Sun Solaris(Unix) as a VM using VMware. Both the OS are pingable and accessible from each other.


What I want to do is,

--> Simply allocate a LUN to my Solaris VM using the space from my local hard disk and get it visible from the OS end.

Kindly provide the steps of procedure for the same if possible.

In the tutorial documents i could only see the configuration steps for windows machines. If possible, kindly share the information for Unix systems as well.
Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.


Regards,
Ankit

May I ask you what StarWind product are you running?

I`m sorry, SMC? Would you be so kind to specify what does it stands for?

Don't know what information you're looking for. Anyways, let me list the things again
1. Starwind iSCSi SAN & VMware installed on windows 7.
2. Sun Solaris 5.10 installed on VMware.

I was asking because I was by the fact that you are obviously asked the question about the iSCSI SAN product, while the question was posted on Converter forum. So, I`m moving the topic the corresponding location.

--------------TOPIC MOVED TO STARWIND ISCSI SAN FORUM--------------------

First of all I`d like to mention that running StarWind on desktop OSes is not supported configuration for production environments, so if you`ll decide to use it you will run in at your own risk.

As about your question: unfortunately we haven`t got this kind of documentation, but I have found good article for you that describes how to connect to iSCSI target:

Basically that should be enough but you are always welcomed to post your additional question if you`ll have one.
