I know that there is no ETA but are we looking at days, weeks, months or years?

It 's annoying being paranoid and taking more time just in case BUT far worse is being just a bit too casual and have that sinking feeling of there goes my weekend why wasn't I more careful? I have experienced both the relief of a good rebuild and restore and the terror of a failed restore and "...

Ok thanks for the detailed steps - lets hope they never have to be taken.

Ok so the one approach would be to shutdown each node and duplicate the virtual disk before attempting to upgrade?
Or alterantively just use Proxmox to backup each node and do a full restore if the update fails?
Any comments on those ideas?

The upgrade was pleasantly uneventful. I updated one node then confirmed that all disks had synched and then updated the next node. Everything worked as it should and I haven't had any issues. I look forwards to repeating the process when the next version is released. In the unlikely event that the ...

Thanks for the information, I'll update the VHCAs over the next few days and report back on my experience.

I can understand now why the repo for Proxmox went offline - there is a new VHCA available. I did find an old upgrade procedure from May 17, 2024 (https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware.com/maintenance/how-to-update-starwind-virtual-san-deployed-as-a-controller-virtual-machine-cvm/) is this still re...

No this is the Proxmox hosts daily check for updates and it is Starwind's repository server throwing the 522 error code.
Both Proxmox hosts and also trying the url in a browser it times out. Nothing to do with the local Starwind VMs providing shared storage.

Woke up this morning to failed updates from my Proxmox hosts:- Err:1 https://repo.starwind.com/proxmox master InRelease 522 <none> [IP: 104.21.35.130 443] Reading package lists...

Ok thanks for the heads up.
Yeah it looks like it hangs when booting.
So would it be better to have a script that polls for iSCSI on it's local VM and then recreate the connection??

I have a 2 host Proxmox cluster and when rebooting a host I get this message from the rebooted host:- Sep 19 19:49:45 pve-ruby iscsid[1467]: connect to 192.168.182.205:3260 failed (No route to host) where 192.168.182.205 is the local VM running CVM Version 20250225. followed by:- Sep 19 19:49:55 pve...

I've been watching the forums of both StarWind and Proxmox and haven't seen any unresolved issues so far. When I was young the bleeding edge was exciting but now that I'm older the leading edge is fine. I assume someone at Starwind has attempted an in place upgrade of one of your teams simple Proxmo...

Hi,
It has been nearly a month since Proxmox has released their latest version.
Is there any reason or issue with the Starwind virtual CVM or the Starwind plugin to not upgrade from Proxmox 8 to Proxmox 9?

Over the weekend Proxmox prompted for updates one of which was the VE Starwind plugin for Proxmox. Whenever I do any disk activity I see:- WARNING: Ignoring duplicate config value: thin_pool_chunk_size_policy WARNING: Ignoring duplicate config value: thin_pool_chunk_size WARNING: Ignoring duplicate ...
