Hello all.
I'm new to StarWind, and coming from IET iSCSI target.
I'm accustomed to creating multiple LUNs (devices) per target. It doesn't look as if StarWind supports this.
I came across a post in the forum that may support this.
Is it true that we cannot create multiple devices per target? :(
Thanks

You use "multiple devices per target" and "multiple LUNs per device" assuming it's the same. It is not! While StarWind of course CAN create multiple devices per target it DOES NOT support multiple LUNs per single device. Yet.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I meant multiple LUNs per device.
Thanks again

Support of multi-LUN targets is scheduled for StarWind v 4.
