New to Clustering, but my test system is (finally) up and running with Starwind VSAN on 2 node Win2012 R2 Cluster.

I will have resources that need an IP address to connect to VSAN storage, as they cannot be joined to the domain or have limited configuration fields. What is the best way to make VSAN storage accessible via IP address with Starwind VSAN?

I don't want to jack it up playing with settings...

Hello Van Rue,
Basically, the targets created in StarWind Management Console by default are available via all networks, specified in Node Configuration ->Network.
So, the main requirement here is to connect other servers via StarWind iSCSI network and discover StarWind targets in iSCSI Initiator to connect them.

Thanks, I probably would have tried that last. But aren't there stability issues essentially sharing Iscsi volumes?

Hello VanRue,
Basically, there shouldn't any issues with targets discovery. Maybe it was blocked by firewall?
