This is by design; correct behaviour. If you do not use keep-san, gPXE
will not create an iBFT in memory. Windows will not find an iBFT, so you
will not have the SAN connection at all.

This seems more like your original problem description, and still seems
like a Windows misconfiguration somewhere. If you are booted from the
SAN disk, you should really see it in both Device Manager as well as
Disk Management tools. I always see all of my SAN disks in both areas.

There were a lot of things I suggested that you could try. Many of them
included reporting your findings. You've not yet reported _any_ of them.
