StarWind Software

Hi

I have the following test setup

ESX Host01 -> iscsi storage01
ESX Host02 -> iscsi storage02

How can i have both volumes presented to both esx hosts (mainly for vmotion to work).

ESX Host01 -> iscsi storage01
-> iscsi stoage02

ESX Host02 -> iscsi storage02
-> iscsi storage01

Is this possible.

Thanks

Hello Zellian.

In the current version this is only possible by "binding" StarWind to separate network interfaces.

You can manually edit the configuration file in order to "bind" StarWind to separate network interfaces. The configuration file is located at C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\starwind.cfg

The configuration file has plenty of comments, so it should not be difficult, i.e.

<connections>
<!--Port number for iSCSI connectons (default 3260)-->
<!-- <Port value="3260"/> -->
<!--Interface to listen to. "0.0.0.0" corresponds to "listen to all interfaces".-->
<!-- <Interface value="192.168.1.234"/> -->
<!--Port number for Control connectons (default 3261)-->
<!-- <CtlPort value="3261"/> -->
<!--Interface to listen to Control connections. "0.0.0.0" corresponds to "listen to all interfaces".-->
<!-- <CtlInterface value="0.0.0.0"/> -->
<connection value="192.168.32.1:3260"/>
<connection value="192.168.1.234:3260"/>
</connections>

This will let StarWind "listen" to the specific IP addresses only.

Just uncomment the needed connection values and ip addresses and add additional if needed, save the file and restart starwind service in task management.

Also, this can be done through the target's or connection's permissions.

However, version 5 will have that functionality implemented in the GUI.

Thanks.
