Can I request a free license or extend MFR, as this is my dev environment?

Hi,

When my NFR Lincense expires, will it switch to the free version, ro will everything stop working?
Can I request an extension to the NFR License?

I will re-visit this, when upgrade my Hyper-V hosts to 2019. For now I can live with the performance as is

Just in case, after this thread had been initiated there were 3 builds of StarWind VSAN released, and at least one of them - 12658 - contains strong recommendation on updating the software due to an important fix the new builds introduce. I installed the latest release this weekend, but have not no...

Nope. Support were great at trying to help diagnose this, but in the end, we could not pinpoint where the issue lied. I ended up accepting the performance as it is.

I have non-enterprise disks, and old network cards, so that may the a factor.

Still looking into this, didn't get much time over the holiday to test.

It's only a problem not he Hyper-v side for me, as VMware is working fine.

Thanks, done.

I'm using "Least Queue Depth".

What is the scenario of the latest tests? Please share more details. The more details you provide the better we would understand what you have got wrong there. Sorry, been really busy. This last test, was on a Hyper-V Windows 10 Guest, after I rebuilt the VSAN Nodes, to allign them to 64K Cluster s...

Feel free to post any news or observations. OK, here you go... The disk speed tests are giving varied results, which is understandable as the workload various, depending on what my VM's are doing i.e. DB Backups, full server backups, downloading patches etc. I haven't had time to do the network dia...

Performance is a little better with the sector sync corrected. I'm still testing this.

I'm now seeing the MB/s shoot up on the console, which I never saw before. I'll post updates once I've re-configured networking.

Just rebuilt my nodes, because the Windows allocation units were not lined up with the RAID Sector size (in case that is causing an issue).

Waiting for 2nd Node to complete sync, before I re-test this.

Interesting result. So this is now a Physical Server, with an additional NIC, connected on the same subnet as VSAN Node 1. Source NIC1 > VSANN01 NIC1. 5GB Device (No cache, no HA). 1.68MB/s READ Would you agree that this is now pointing to an issue on the VSAN rather than the Compute Nodes? I will l...

Didn't find any misconfiguration. Can you connect the StarWind drive directly in the VM (via ISCSi) and test a performance? So, I gave the VM a 2nd NIC, on the same subnet as the VSAN Node, ran the same command line on the 5GB Test Device, and getting 4.46MB/s READ (very bad). Will now try a Physic...

Thanks for the confirmation, I'll give that a go.
