Greetings,
I'm using StarWind/StarPort to mount a file system on my Exchange server. The system works well until a reboot.
After a reboot, the exchange service starts, finds that the InfoStore folder is not present, and fails to mount the public or private data stores. The StarPort driver initializes and mounts the remote images by the time I log in. I can then manually mount the information stores, and Exchange works.
Is there some way to delay the startup of Exchange until all remote iSCSI disks are mounted? I thought about the Dependency option on the first Exchange service, but I'd rather not experiment on that server.
Can I reference the Exchange service dependency to the StarPort driver?
Does the driver show "ready" after initialization, or after completing the Automounts?
What I need is a facility to delay the startup of exchange until StarPort is loaded and the remote automount devices are ready.
Server is W2K3 SP1 w/ Exchange 2K3 (no SP1 yet). StarPort is 2.6 build 0x20050310, StarWind is 2.6.1 build 0x20050326.
Thanks,
Glenn
