The upgrade procedure does not delete anything but the StarWind Virtual SAN's targets would be disconnected during the update. It will be reconnected once the upgrade is done.
However, I would highly recommend backing up your data prior to the update process just in case.
Could you please clarify when it would be suitable for you to have a quick remote session? Please contact us at
support@starwind.com to log a call. Use this thread as a reference.
Also, do you have any Windows host running on your network by chance? It would be needed to perform the upgrade.
Thank you!
Hi yaroslav,
Thanks for the support, really appreciate it.
Spent the last few days understanding some configuration which if I had realized before, this thread might not be needed.
I realized I had connected the StarWind storage to 2 systems.
1) vCenter host storage
2) Veeam as proxy
When shutting down systems I would shutdown vCenter and the ESXi hosts followed by StarWind storage not shutting down Veeam Server connected to the storage which resulted in the storage not shutting down. And the reason for "sometimes" is I sometimes used to shutdown the Storage after everything else, until I noticed they shutdown properly after everything else is shutdown.
Thus apologizing, I believe the systems are working fine.
On a separate note, I would like to upgrade because even though the above is correct the Storage still shows the unmounting failure before shutting down.
Thank You
