Upgrade from 6884 to 7145 - Big Problems

Hi, I've just upgrade one of my 2 Nodes to Version 7145. However Starwind is no longer working well. First The Service on the updated Note closes itself and is not restarting itself. The crazy thing is, when the updated Node goes down, the clients also can no longer connect to the old node, it goes ...

Re: Question about LSFS size on SSD and sector size

Hi, thanks for your help. I decided to use thick provisioning, because I need the space. Do you pass down TRIM even with thick provisioning? If I place a vm directly onto my Raid, TRIM is working fine in the vm, if I place it onto the Starwind Volume, TRIM is no longer working. Using 2012R2 as Hyper...

Question about LSFS size on SSD and sector size

Hi, I want to create a HA Device on a 480GB Intel DC S3500 SSD. What is the maximum size I can give the device if I want to use LSFS? If I understood correctly, LSFS device can use 2-3 times more space, than it offers. So I can not give it a value near the 480 GB. But if I use a thick provisined img...

LSFS HA-Image not working properly

Hi, I've created a LSFS Volume and made it High available. Afterwards I added it to my MS 2012R2 CLuster and made it a csv. Then I copied one file to "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume3" (The new csv). The result ist the following: On the node I made the copy, LSFS is 34,5 GB, on the second node, i...

Problem with Starwind v8

Hi, I have a big problem with the new starwind software and a HA-Device. Sometimes, Starwind terminates the iSCSI Connection to one of the servers to syncronize a Device. After syncronization is finished, one of the 2 servers reconnects to the target, but the server on which the device was syncroniz...

Starwind on SSD - Thin or thick provisioning better?

Hi, If I use starwind on SSDs, is it better to use thin or thick provisioning? What about the auto-defrag feature. Should I activate it with SSDs? In my opinion thin provisioning should be quicker on SSDs because of TRIM. If I use thick provisioning the host doesn't see the free areas on the SSDs an...
