Re: Is L2 cache now stable?

Hi,

It should be stable and ready for production, although i would recommend you waiting for next release build. If should contain major fixes and improvements for L2 cache.

Re: Server 2012 R2 VMs in ESXi on SSD backed Starwind iSCSI LUNS

Hello!

Are you using any RAID for those SSDs?
Have you checked if your SSDs are supported by VMware?

Re: Accidentally banned the vmware server

Try clicking on your Server in StarWind management console and selecting access rights. You will see your banned session there, set it to allowed.

Re: Unalloacating space on a dedupliacted disk V6

People are using LSFS with in-line dedup now. I don't think that anyone will work on a bug of outdated version these days :wink:
