"invalid partner info" creating Replica

baka · Wed May 06, 2015 8:17 pm

I'm trying to create replication partner for lsfs image via replication wizard...
Readding servers to management console and reinstalling server agents didn't help

7929 build, Hyper-V under ESXi
Any ideas?
Btw, creating small HA-image (just for test) via "Clusters" works fine

You can try re-installing StarWind. If you already tried that, please provide the following information:
1. Size of lsfs device
2. Amount of caching applied (L1/L2) to it
3. Amount of memory allocated for StarWind VM's
4. Upload StarWind logs to some file sharing service (dropbox) for us to take a look
5. Indicate approximate time when you tried to create replica
Thank you

1. 800GB lsfs virtual disk w/Dedup (works fine!)
2. 1024Mb L1 WB cache + 0 L2
3. 20 (System, NTFS, Hyper-v) + 804 GB (GPT, NTFS) + 4096 RAM
Partial logs from both nodes: http://rghost.ru/download/7G7BykJXg/c44 ... logpart.7z

Btw, using option "Select existing Device" (Replication Wizard) says "Specified File alredy exists"

Thank you for the logs. I have forwarded them to R&D. I will let you know if they require more information.
As for "Specified File already exists", please give this header a different name (add 1 to it...)

The issue has been identified and fixed. Is it a production environment? We can send you a test build to check. Please let me know

It's a testing pre-production environment, so I can wait a bit...
Btw, I'm waiting for a new build with a some new feature also (https://forums.starwindsoftware.com/vie ... f=5&t=3329)
Thanks for a support.

There is no need to upgrade the service itself, simply install only SW management console from this package on a remote computer and try to add replica from that console.

The same error

Thank you. Forwarded these logs to R&D. Did you perform full installation or only that of management console?

I am getting this same error as well. It may be for a different reason, but the error itself it occurring at a similar time as it is replicating the disk with invalid partner info.

baka,

Could we arrange a remote session and look closer at this? It would be really helpful. If it is possible, let me know when you are available tomorrow.
Thank you

I think it's possible.
Teamviewer? Mail me for details please
