i've got some serious issues with w2k8 r2 standard and iSCSI controller. i'm running dell server, connected via ethernet to synergy NAS, which is handling LUN via iSCSI. i'm using ms iSCSI initiator to mount it, and it's working like a charm but my LUN's are write protected!

i've already managed to check ACL permisions, sharing permisions, user/group permisions etc. i've also cleared write protection from disk with diskpart using ATTR DISK CLEAR READONLY ( it was mentioned as common problem)

dump from diskpart:

DISKPART> attributes disk
Current Read-only State : Yes
Read-only  : No
Boot Disk  : No
Pagefile Disk  : No
Hibernation File Disk  : No
Crashdump Disk  : No
Clustered Disk  : No

that issue is related to all luns on synergy NAS. i'm not using any encryption/authentication cos my intranet is not connected to internet. all of them are 1,99TB, if it is important.

Have you tried the diskpart command `attributes disk clear readonly`? – longneck Jan 24 '13 at 19:36

Do you see any events in the Windows event logs? – longneck Jan 24 '13 at 21:23
virtual disk service is not related, am i right? : D only "information" events, like that [link](http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH146531) – jj1962368 Jan 24 '13 at 22:36
PLEASE HELP, STILL NO SOLUTION – jj1962368 Jan 27 '13 at 23:40
fixed by deleting LUNS and setting them up again -.- – jj1962368 Jan 29 '13 at 09:43
