I'm using Windows Server 2025 Standard 24H2 to test NVMe-TCP protocol.

Using the native nvmeofutil.exe tool, I've been able to:

  1. List server NQN
  2. List Host Gateway
  3. Add Subsystem Port Identifier with Target NQN
  4. Add NVMe Controller

But I cannot connect to the target namespaces:

nvmeofutil connect -ia 5 -sp FFFFAA8D038F3460 -ci FFFFAA8D00409530

UshortFromString for ci parameter failed with error code 0x57

I would appreciate any help!

    Stuck! Will revisit once Microsoft releases a new version of this driver. As it is, it simply does not work.
