Hello,
we´re having trouble integrating our both Open-E DSS V6 machines into out FalconStor Infrastructure. Right now we have:

2 FalconStor IPStor Nodes
2 HP EVA3000 (Already productive)
2 SuperMicro Machines with Open-E DSS V6

All hooked up to an FC SAN.

We successfully integrated one Open-E machine via FibreChannel by now, so the FalconStor Nodes can the see the LUN we created (4 TB). But when we´re trying to use the Open-E FC Volume for the FalconStor Storage Pool, we get an Error Message stating that the IPStor Parition can´t be created.

I passed the issue to the technical support from our FalconStor Reseller, including the Logs from the FalconStor nodes. The support told me that it looks like the Open-E Software doesn´t Support Cluster Shared Volumes (or Host Multi access), because the 2 FalconStor Nodes are unable to access the Volume on the Open-E simultaneously (which is neccessary when doing mirroring / Failover).

Is this a known limitation of Open-E or kust not supported (yet)

Greeting from germany,
