The weirdest thing happened this morning. After days of it not working, I logged into the Server this morning and it was there again. Not quite sure what happened, but I am glad that it is back!

Thanks for the quick response.

I am having an issue opening the Starwind Management Console. I used to be able to access it. Now it brings up the splash screen and then doesn't do anything. After looking through the logs in %appdata%\Starwind\5\Console\ConsoleLogs\ I found that I am getting some errors. Here is what it says and w...

Is there also an assumption made that I have a 10Gb Switch? i don't have a switch, all I have are the Dual 10Gbe Cards. How would I run all of the Hyper-V Stuff just from going host to host? Won't I need to hook to my 1Gb Switches to do the VM Traffic and VSwitches? The NICs for iSCSI, are they MPIO...

So I will have 7 VM's running, I will have: 1 File Server 2 DC's 2 SQL Servers (Very low access) 1 IT server (just used for installs, very low impact) and also, this is not set in stone yet, would it be better to go the route of having 10 - 1Gbe NICs instead of having the other setup with 2 - 10Gbe ...

So total NICs on each host are

10Gbe NICs - 2
1Gbe NICs - 6

I will still need NICs for VM traffic for Hyper-V, so these are the total, total NICs

I am still so very confused and maybe that is just because I have never done Virtualization before...but when I was reading the Hyper-Converged document, it had 2 VLANs per 1 link between the 2 nodes. Is that really 2 Gbe connections? So in that scenario would it be 4 seperate NICs from each server?...

Nope. HeartBeat uses approximately 200 MB per month, so running it over the dedicated NICs will be just a waste of the hardware. Feel free to run it over the data links that StarWind servers can communicate through. So this mean I can use the 10Gb link to do this right? (love 100% clarification :) ...

Hey All, I have posted this on a couple of sites and was recommended to come here to get the answers I need. I can't seem to get anyone to give me a for sure answer. Here is what I am trying to do: I am running Hyper-V 2012 and the StarWind software 2 node Hyper-Converged setup. I have (per host) 2 ...
