Unable to connect to LUNs fom Micrsoft VMM 2012

[rmshah50]

Hi Tech Support,

I have a Windows Server 2012 (SAN) that has 2 volumes E: (80GB) and F:(60GB). I installed Starwind ISCSI SAN software and the management console on it. I created 3 devices(Tier1, Tier2 & Quorum) on the management console as shown in the picture below. The respective Targets were also created.

I then connected my HyperV hosts 1 & 2 to the LUNs and everything worked as expected. I then installed the SMI-S provider ver 0.95 beta on the SAN server. The configuration utility is as shown below:

When I try to add the storage device to the VMM 2012, it connects to the SAN but shows the default storage pool as shown below. It does not show the 3 LUNs that I have created. What changes do I have to make to see the LUNs that I have created. Please advise.

Our SMI-S privider will work with Windows Server 2012 R2 and matching VMM version. Microsoft will back-port the thing to the 2008 R2 and original 2012 only after R2 will be published "Gold". Unfortunately it's not something we (StarWind development team) can change

Does it mean, what I am trying to do now is not supported ? Please advise.

It will be officially supported configuration with an updated VMM. As long as you have working beta from Microsoft, new SCVMM 2012 R2 or a back-ported one it will work.
