Starwind and SCVMM 2012 Total Capacity 0

[bill5ter]

Hi All,

I'm a new user of the Starwind SMI-S provider having recently got an eval licence from Starwind for my testing of SCVMM(thank you!).

I am facing some issues using the storage though

I have followed the instructions to install the client but when I attempt to add the storage to my VMM console it always states that the 'Total Capacity' available is '0'.

I have also found that other people have had the same issue but their workaround does not work for me - as this step is mentioned in the doc I've followed http://www.ms4u.info/2012/08/total-capa ... dding.html

Has anybody else experienced and overcome this issue?

Cheers,

bill5ter

Aha,....just got it.

I re-ran the 'configuratorconsole.exe' and set the Device Type to 'Image File' and my storage was then found successfully.

Just for clarification:-

• What "device type" options are there?
  What is the impact of changing these?

Cheers,

Hi and welcome on board

What "device type" options are there?
What is the impact of changing these?

Currently (the SMI-S is still on beta stage as you may know) our product can work with Basic Image files, so it`s better to run only this device type, otherwise you may run into issues.
