Hi

I'm using StarWind free with ESXi 5.5 (update 1 now)
On every ESX boot, it "hangs" for 10 - 15 minutes after the vmk_iscsi module loaded successfully.
Also, 3 out 4 iscsi targets are not mounted, and I have to manually mount them by using vmkscsi -m <datastore>

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks
Michel

Hello Anton

The logs are bigger than the 256 KiB allowed.
How should we send them?

Thanks

You need to upload it to some file hosting and share the link with us.
