Hello,
I installed Starwind on Windows 10. I have an NFS share and an iSCSI share set up. I can connect to the iSCSI via Vmware ESX 3.0.1 fine. I create a VM on there and then I installed the OS. However, it doesn't work and I can't reach any of my volumes.
If I reboot the ESX server the connection comes back and everything is fine until I use it again. I am using a Dell XPS 14 9440 to connect to the starwind with the SW iSCSI initiator.

Is there anyone having the same issue? Any advice?

Welcome to StarWind forum.
SrtarWind VSAN is not supported on desktop OS (see more at https://www.starwindsoftware.com/system-requirements).
Did you create the VM on top of the iSCSI-connected storage?
Make sure to create an iSCSI volume not an NFS one to reach it over iSCSI.
However, it doesn't work and I can't reach any of my volumes.
Please elaborate on what exactly does work.

StarWind iSCSI initiator is a legacy product. Use MS iSCSI Initiator.
