In regards to the PowerShell reporting of synch percentage, I'm beginning to get the feeling that StarWind doesn't bother to report sync percentage accurately unless (a) the devices are not synchronized but (b) synchronization is in progress. In other words, unless device state is 0 (Active) and Syn...

Thank you Yaroslav, that's really helpful!

What is the best way to verify StarWind VSAN iSCSI configuration and statuses? Sometimes I have a feeling things aren't what they should be, but it's hard to be sure. Is it enough that the Management Console isn't complaining? Between the iSCSI Initiator Properties, Targets, Discovery, Favorite targ...

This is a two-server Hyper-converged Microsoft Failover Server cluster. I have an HA CSV drive that is working now, but based on hardware monitoring I expect it to fail soon, so I have a replacement coming. Is there StarWind recommended best practice for replacing working storage devices? I've seen ...

Interesting, I do have dual DCs, I'll have to think on that.

I've uploaded the logs as requested and PMed you the link.

OK, the Failover Cluster is back online. I'm really not sure what the real problem was; diagnostics were quite unclear. I suspect something mucked up with the iSCSI targets. It probably doesn't help that the host servers are both domain members, but the domain controllers are virtual guests of the c...

Thank you Yaroslav. Yes, I did not expect to be able to use the StarWind Management Console to check maintenance mode. It does work nicely. That kind of makes using a script to check statuses less important. I have made a bunch of changes to the MaintenanceMode script to make it more clear what is h...

Thank you Yaroslav, that's extremely helpful!

I think the user interface of StarWind is unclear on these points, so this clears things up a lot.

Thank you very much for your response, Yaroslav. I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. The biggest problem with the MaintenanceMode script, as I see it, is its lack of reporting. It provides absolutely no way to report on the maintenance mode of any device without changing it. That's what I want f...

I appreciate the new MaintenanceMode powershell script, but It leaves me with a question or two. Unfortunately the StarWindX PDF documentation appears to be very out of date. Is there any "get" version of the PowerShell "SwitchMaintenanceMode" function that it uses? It would real...

I've always been confused about the meaning of the term "synchronized" as used by StarWind. I don't understand, if a device has to be synchronized with another, how one device can be called "synchronized" while the other is not. I would have expected that they are both synchroniz...

Yes, by the time's collected those logs, I'd already done that as per your recommendation on Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:23 pm, which I reported the next morning.

Anyway, it worked well, as you saw. I'm looking at doing an update now, as up also recommended.

Thanks for your help, Yaroslav!

Thanks, Yaroslav! I've sent you a PM with the OneDrive links to the log files.

By the way, a nice thing about the script I provided is that it should not require any editing AT ALL to run on most StarWind VSAN servers, and provides quite detailed information. I think many people might find that useful.

Thanks for getting back to me, Yaroslav! Well, I wasn't totally sure if they were fully synchronized or not, when sync status is 1 -- which apparently means Synchronized -- but the percentage is zero. It _acts_ synchronized, and there is no resynch going on. The other server looks 100% normal. So, I...
