Win2008 64bit Hyper V RC0 - network adapter issues

[monsoon5]

Hi,
I was struggling getting MS iSCSI initiator to see Starwind iSCSI Target on 3 Hyper V RC0 virtual servers. My entire environment (including Starwind application) are all 64-bit.

I tried 3 different virtual Win2k8 Servers (2 Enterprise, 1 Standard) with various network configurations (1 NIC, 2 NICs - one isolated for iSCSI, etc).

I finally created a new network in Hyper V RC0 using legacy network adapters and the MS iSCSI initiator/Starwind target pairing worked perfectly.

I just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here. Any suggestions on how to get Starwind target / MS iSCSI initiators working with standard network adapters on Hyper V RC0 rather than the legacy network adapters?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Well - you can ignore this post. Turns out that one of my servers was an AD controller and it messed things up (I think). I was trying to use it as the iSCSI host for the 2 nodes. When I abandoned that design and went to just try and get the 2 Enterprise nodes to see each other (one being target and one being initiator), they didn't work until I rebuilt the virtual network.

As a final test, I introduced a 4th server to act as the iSCSI host for the 2 other Win2008 Enterprise Nodes, they recognized it just fine with the regular Hyper V adapters.

So I am up and running with 1 AD, 1 iSCSI target and 2 iSCSI initiators.

Thanks!!!
