SPTI for UDO optical drive

I have been using Starwind version 3.5 for some time to serve a Plasmon UDO optical drive via iSCSI. UDO drives are high capacity WORM type optical drive for archiving.
When trying to do the same with Starwind version 5.0 it does not detect the UDO drive as either Hard Drive/Optical/or Tape drive and I can't see any way of adding an SPTI device that is not detected as any of those types. Does version 5.0 only support certain types of device as SPTI?

Matt.

No, I mean edition of StarWind - is SPTI is supported since StarWind Enterprise. Or you can send me your email to PM, and I`ll give you the answer which edition do you have.

Sorry - Starwind Enterprise Unlimited.

I have SPTI tape drives working fine on the same V5.0 box.

Yes, but UDO drive is in use by live system which I have to shutdown to test new version of Starwind, just waiting for a convinient time to shut it down.

Thanks,

Hi,

Success!

The latest build you sent me detects UDO drive properly in the management GUI as an optical drvie and seems to be working properly.

Thank you for your help on this one.
