OK, I have switched the MPIO policy to Fail Over Only. Once thing I noticed while stepping through the iSCSI Initiator Targets is as follows; I have two servers, which will participate in a Hyper-V Failover Cluster 1. HV1 2. HV2 I have 4 devices defined in Starwind 1. Witness - 1GB Virtual Hard Driv...

I have two 10GbE NICs in each of the two Hyper-V servers, each has a vlan for SYNC and a vlan for iSCSI. Does that qualify as fast?

OK, setting the MPIO policy device path for each local iSCSI Initiator target to the 127.0.0.1 loopback and the MPIO policy device path for each remote iSCSI Initiator target to their respective remote IP addresses makes sense. As another note; I am setting up a 2-node Hyper-V failover cluster. The ...

In the Starwind technical paper, titled "StarWind Virtual SAN® Installation and Configuration of Hyper-Converged 2 Nodes with Hyper-V Cluster DATE: JANUARY 2015", on page 35, step 13, it states "After both StarWind nodes are restarted and the MPIO support is enabled you have to config...

@Vitaliq - I was just wondering... do you think that a pair of servers with the underlying Windows Storage Spaces drive array 64K sequential write speeds of 140MB/s, like the ones you remoted into and tested, would even be capable of functional StarWind replication performance for the StarWind vSAN ...

We had a StarWind engineer to a remote connection to the server and he discovered that the issue was in the underlying array data transfer speed. Using an IOMeter test of 64K Block, 100% write, 100% Sequential, 16 outstanding I/Os and 32 Workers, the resultant throughput showed that it would barely ...

First let me start by saying this is my first experience with clustering, CSVs, vSANs, StarWind and iSCSI so if I am missing something obvious, please forgive my ignorance. I am testing out StarWind v8 build 8116. I have two brand new identical Supermicro servers, each with the following configurati...

So, I guess the licensing for the free version changed as per this Starwind post from 6/8/15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: Problem with 2-node key for StarWind Virtual SAN free Postb...

After reviewing the forum and documents, I understood that I could set up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Failover cluster using the free 2-node license. However, when I try to assign the 2-node license, I get an error. The 1-node license works and everything seems to be installed properly except t...
