Petas3, *On URE another node will serve eventually it - this is happening on StarWind fabric level or client level? This is happening on StarWind level.

Re: Disk file system showing as RAW

Hi chell,
Could you please clarify, where are you using REFS, for StarWind or underlying storage?
ReFS is still a new file system and it can be "unstable". In your case, I would recommend using NTFS.

Re: Manually trigger defragmentation of HA device

Hi t0m, Defragmentation works continuously in the background. File segment will be defragmented when data capacity is out of the allowed value. Data from the old file segment will be moved to another empty file segment and the old fragmented file will be deleted. Maximum allowed junk rate before def...

Re: 3-Node HA iSCSI - Virtual SAN "Scrubbing"

Hello Petas3, No, there is no scrubbing in StarWind, this is resolving on a RAID level. In case of disk error on read another node will serve the request to HA. The HA device on the node with error will be turned off until the moment of finishing full sync, the full synchronization process will star...

Hi magnosantos,
What type of disks do you have in the bunch, SSDs and HDDs? And do you have RAID controller installed on the servers?

Re: Should i have a dedicated volume/LUN for each HA-device?

Hi Sergey Pugachov,
Actually, RAID 10 from 8 HDDs can show better results than 2 RAID 10 from 4 HDDs. And you can create 2 HA devices on this RAID.
But both ways are acceptable, you can create 2 RAID 10 from 4 HDDs and then put HA device on each of them.

Re: iSCSI LUN not being seen in ESXI/vSphere

Hi goldserve,
Yes, you should select 512 sector size for ESXi.
Glad to hear the issue is solved :)
