Re: Entering Maintenance Mode for a device in C# and bug

Hey... is documentation available online for accessing Starwind via C#?

I'd like to do something like the OP is doing... wasn't aware it is possible!

SQL virtualization best practice?

We have an MS SQL server running as a VM under Hyper-V on a two-server failover cluster. All cluster storage is managed by Starwind. I know the best best practice for virtualizing SQL server is "don't", but we're stuck with this setup because reasons. :? Right now, the Starwind storage is ...

Re: Hyper-V servers failover problems

Interesting... do you by any chance have any links to info on that?

I've actually done quite a bit of searching but so far haven't really found anything definitive.

Hyper-V servers failover problems

Okay, this isn't so much a tech support request as much as just asking the community whether my expectations are realistic... and it's gonna be long! Our setup is two clustered Hyper-V servers, running Windows 2012 and Starwind native SAN for Hyper-V version 6.0.6399. There are two HA devices on eac...

Image file folder permissions?

Hey... this seems like a pretty basic question but I searched and didn't find anything.

The folder that holds the Starwind image files... what security permissions does it need? I'd like to lock it down as much as possible.

Yeah, you're probably right. I was hoping these might be common problems with simple solutions, but if that was the case something probably would have turned up when I searched...

Couple of issues on new v8 install

Over the past weekend we set up a pair of Win2012R2 servers in a cluster to provide file sharing, using Starwind v8 to do the shared storage. We're having a couple of issues, and I'm wondering a) if anyone can provide any insight and b) if they may be related to each other? Issue #1 is that users ar...

Create HA device from physical disk?

Here's the short form of my dumb question: is it possible to create an HA device as/from an image of an existing physical disk? Now here's the long form... :lol: We currently have two file servers that are "mirrored" via DFS. It's a redundant solution but not a very good one. So what we ar...

Re: Couple of troubleshooting questions

I'd be happy to do anything I can with diagnosis, as long as it's not too intrusive on the server, as we're now using that machine in production. The one big thing I can think of that's different between the two pairs of servers (other than that one is running SAN and NAS and the other is running na...

Re: Couple of troubleshooting questions

Great! When the new release comes out, what's involved in updating? Just install it on top of what I already have? Thinking back a little, I'm realizing the heartbeat isn't the only glitch I've been seeing. If I leave the Starwind management console open, once in a while, very infrequently (like eve...

Re: Couple of troubleshooting questions

Well... I think it's a little early to say. As of yesterday morning, nothing we had tried worked. They seem convinced it's a network connectivity issue, but we tried updating adapter firmware & drivers, turning off all power-saving settings, and changing all the cables with no effect. The networ...

Re: Couple of troubleshooting questions

We've actually got a webex set up with someone this afternoon so hopefully we'll get this resolved then. But to answer your questions... The software is not installed on the same machines. We've got SAN and NAS installed on a couple of Dell NAS boxes that run Windows 2008, with one HA drive set up b...

Re: Couple of troubleshooting questions

Thanks!

I updated firmware and drivers but the problem continues. Any suggestions on what advanced settings to look at, and what they should be set to? This is a brand-new box so everything's set to default. The NIC is an Intel I350t if it matters.

Couple of troubleshooting questions

Hello! I'm evaluating native SAN, have it set up in a test environment, and it's generally working. But I'm sporadically getting "all heartbeat connections with the parter node...were lost" events in the log. It only seems to happen once every few hours, and the connection always comes bac...
