Re: StarWind iSCSI SAN Version 8.0 Beta-2

Hi Anton, Thanks for replying. I doubt I would manage to get any response on the Veeam forum for this - 99% of the discussions about this over there essentially boil down to 'well, your SAN should support this, as HP does, NetApp does' etc etc. Hopefully you'll consider it anyway! :) Reference would...

Re: StarWind iSCSI SAN Version 8.0 Beta-2

Hi, I was wondering if the new Beta supports adding read-only access to targets in addition to read-write access to those same targets. We run Veeam for backup, and one of the ways it can do backup is by direct SAN access. At the moment, if we want to do that, we have to grant read-write access to t...

StarWind Upgrade Resets DefaultAccessPolicy

Hi there, We have experienced this a number of times, but I haven't posted on the forums to ask about it before (which I should have done!). Whenever we upgrade a node in our HA StarWind storage, it always resets the DefaultAccessPolicy in the Access Rights tab to 'All Connections, All Targets, All ...

RAID Logical Drive Failure - Repoint StarWind HA?

Hi there, We are running a 2-node HA StarWind setup, with the latest v6 version. Each node has 2 or 3 RAID logical drives. Sadly, one of the logical drives on Node 1 has irreparably broken due to a disk failure. Because we're running HA, we're still fine as the images are being served successfully f...

Re: Release Notes for different versions of 5.8?

Hi Anatoly, Thanks for the answer - we have found the release notes inside the installation folder now! There is one minor problem with the notes only being in the installation folder though - you can't actually read them until you've installed the latest version somewhere! :) In my case, I installe...

Re: Release Notes for different versions of 5.8?

Hi guys,

Any chance of an answer to this? Would it help if I raised a support case to ask the same question?

Many thanks,

Andy

Release Notes for different versions of 5.8?

Hi there, We currently have 2 2-node HA clusters, one running 5.8.1964, and one running 5.8.2013. We tend to update to the newest version whenever we need to reboot the boxes for normal maintenance reasons. I see that there is now version 5.8.2059 as the latest version, and I'm wondering if I should...

Re: New HA targets is using MS ISCSI Initiator

Hi Anatoly/Anton, I have added the transport key to the config file on both pairs of HA nodes, and everything is working fine - no MS iSCSI in sight, and all syncs happening at tasty speeds (i.e. almost instant). Special thanks to lohelle for the confirmation of what you did on your nodes! :) Cheers...

Re: New HA targets is using MS ISCSI Initiator

Hi Anatoly,

I absolutely will update you as soon as I have added the key. I am just waiting for an available maintenance window to do it, though, in case something bad happens. Should be either this evening or tomorrow evening.

Cheers,

Andy

Sure, I will do that. What I meant was that we have 2 sets of HA nodes, A and B, and on the two nodes in HA SAN B, there is in fact no key for transport at all!

Re: New HA targets is using MS ISCSI Initiator

Cool. I'll try that on the HA Set that has "system" in there, and if that works, I'll try it on the set which has no transport key at all - provided no one from StarWind says I shouldn't! Sadly, we have tons of VMs running from the storage, so I will need to do this OOH in case some horrib...

Re: New HA targets is using MS ISCSI Initiator

Hmm, OK, that makes me feel slightly better, hehe. So we have HA SAN A with "system" set, and HA SAN B with nothing set at all, despite the fact it was upgraded from 5.7 to 5.8, without any copy/pasting of configs. Intriguing! When you set yours from "system" to "internal&qu...

Re: New HA targets is using MS ISCSI Initiator

Reading this thread made me wonder if the same was happening with our storage. We have 2 sets of 2 servers running in HA, recently updated to v5.8. On HA SAN A, both nodes have the following in their config, and no connections showing in MS iSCSI initiator in Windows: <plugin module="HAImage.dl...
