W2016 - Cannot Import iSCSI virtual disk

Question

Hello all,

We have a problem with our Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard.

Our VHDX is detached to iSCSI virtual disks, I don't know why, an issue maybe ?
Now, we try to re import this VHDX in iSCSI virtual disks but it's failing (with powershell or server manager same fail).
Error is "An unexpected error occurred" when I try to import iSCSI virtual disk.. I don't have more logs in Event viewer.

Can you help me ?

Thanks

Hey,

Can you share the powershell cmdlet you are using to reattach VHDX? Is your VHDX used somewhere except iSCSI Target?

As an alternative, you can use StarWind VSAN free to create and share iSCSI targets.
