How to create shared iSCSI storage for ESXi using StarWind’s iSCSI SAN Software

In my previous post, I mentioned that I use StarWind Software’s iSCSI SAN software to provide iSCSI LUNs for my home lab.  In this post, I’ll document the process to create a simple shared iSCSI LUN setup.  Using that, one can provide as many LUNs as required to an ESXi setup, possibly with multipathing – very useful if one doesn’t have expensive network storage and virtual appliances don’t seen flexible enough.  I should apologise in advance as this is a fairly heavy post in terms of pictures.  I thought about it but as I wanted to create an article with step-by-step instructions (making sure they’re followed exactly), I had to do it.
