now i could succeed to pass the check and u caused it. i'm really grateful.
now i think i don't need StarWind at all. i may uninstall it as well as Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. am i right?

yes a Windows 2003 cluster allows you to use VMWare virtual HDD's so you dont need Starwind or iSCSI. If you want to use Windows 2008 clustering that is where you need specialist storage. I use FreeNAS and present the LUN's over iSCSI to the Windows 2008 cluster nodes. Check my tutorial at this link

for details of how to deploy a virtual Windows 2008 cluster using iSCSI and FreeNAS 😉

Thanks!
