Thank you very much.ġ) The Daemon Tools Lite page and online installer both say the free version has ads. I'm using Daemon Tools Lite 4.49 on Windows 7 and would like to update to the latest version, and maybe purchase some features if I like what I see, but before I do that I have some questions, and I'd appreciate if you guys could answer them. Hello, first of all I want to thank the Daemon Tools developers for their honesty when presenting the ad-supported freeware, and offering an affordable paid version as an alternative. Dedicated "server" machine, stays running for months at a time. Running the latest version of Daemon Tools, and OS/X 10.12 with 16GB of RAM. Sorry for the longwindedness and hopefully noone posts a lmgtfy link. The real issue I hope to get addressed is having a way to script the reconnect.
This whole paragraph was just a sidetrack as I thought maybe Daemon Tools would be more stable having been connected to its' own iSCSI host software.
I attached the same VHD image to StarWind and then DT was able to connect to it on OS/X. I went so far as to download the tool called "vhdtool" so I could quickly create a 5.5TB VHD image (without waiting hours) and the DT iSCSI host accepted the VHD image, but when attempting to connect from DT on OS/X, I receive an "insufficient resources" error message. It installed fine, but would not allow me to create a target larger than 2 TB. I don't think the disconnect is DT's fault, but I just want to have a way to script a status check/reconnect.Īs a diagnostic measure, I tried deleting the Starwind iSCSI target, and installed the DT windows iSCSI host app. I'm able to go into the Daemon Tools app and manually reconnect when this happens, but this is a pain to say the least. I am constantly plagued with disconnects at random times, for no apparent reason. The third NIC on OS/X is used for LAN/Internet connectivity. (Mac Mini Server, with thunderbolt Dual 10GbE NIC). I have a direct cable from the OS/X host to each NAS (crossover cable) and a private LAN subnet on each. I've created a 5.5TB iSCSI target on each, and have no trouble connecting. So I have two Western Digital NAS devices, running Win 2008 Storage Server R2, and bundled with StarWind iSCSI initiator. I only bought the host app as an "in-case" as I didn't plan to use it. I've purchased Daemon Tools and the iSCSI initiator, as well as the iSCSI host app for Windows.
