Been a while since I've had time to contribute to the beta program, hopefully I'll be able to give 5.9 a decent looking with XenServer 6 and PVS 6.
Is 5.9 available as a XenServer virtual applicance?
Thanks,
Martin

How do this work? And when?
I created a 10 GB dedupe-device and connected it to one of my ESXi 5.0 hosts.
Added a 8 GB disk to a VM, put 2 GB of random files on it, deleted the data, sdeleted, copied 2 GB new data.
The dedupe disk size grew all the time, except when running sdelete where the metadata-file was the only one that grew much.
Well actually, I want to know. If the paths are managed by VMware after it identifies the target as an ALUA array, the "AULA-stability" should not be a problem at all, as Starwind does not have to "do something special" (not more than normal).anton (staff) wrote:You don't really want to know how it works
When? When you overwrite the same LBA with a new content and old content is not used by anybody else.
Do you run current V5.9 beta? I need to check do we have delete-enabled built in it and actual delete enabled by default.

Please check if it is enabled by default, and if not how to enable it.
Thanks! It will be fixed soon.lohelle wrote:Small error in the GUI.
btw: is it possible to add a remote (other subnets) node now? In the wizard I needed to have corresponding subnets on all nodes.
How do I setup async replication?
And how to create HA dedupe device?

It is HA for 3 nodes. And remote replication for deduplicated disk devices, if you have slow channels.lohelle wrote:btw: Is there a particular feature you want us to test more than the other?
I have some spare time now and then, and I will use some of it on Starwind.
Hey, I would be interested in testing the VMware backup plugin as soon as possible too!
