Is there any information available on this new feature?
Can it be applied to existing HA Images?
What are the respective trade offs between the two strategies. Can you alter the strategy after it is created?

Hi,
Is there any information available on this new feature?
https://www.starwindsoftware.com/store- ... te-storage
Can it be applied to existing HA Images?
Yes
It is performed manually. For free version, the script will be added later (please contact support@starwind.com to get it quicker)
What are the respective trade offs between the two strategies. Can you alter the strategy after it is created?
No trade-offs. Yes, but you need the devices to enter mutual not synchronized state.

I have the paid version, Hyper-V Virtual SAN 2 Nodes 4Tb shared storage.
Where do I find documentation about the set up, the name of the script and the commands to issue?

For Paid version, you could use GUI. The documentation is to be published soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks for that I have played around with a few HA devices of 1Gb to see how it works.
Interested in the procedure to convert an existing device to file based journaling? It looks like the only way is to delete its replication partner and recreate with file based journaling but I'll wait to see what the documentation says.
Not keen on stuffing up production HA devices.

It should work for the existing devices. Stay tuned, the documents should arrive soon.
