thanks. I have fixed the iSCSI connections, took a while, as I could not do it on a running server. so I migrated all VMs on older node, storage and all, and then did the update and iSCSI reconfig. it was easier now since I have reconfigure the older server to have proper network setup and switch na...
hi Michael I did followed the manual but I do not think it working. the starwind says all is sync and nice, but when I shut down the clstr_node2 (coincidently that was the new machine where I had setup SW a new, and did the HA config from to clstr_node1) the whole hell broke loose. apparently the CS...
OK, thanks for all the help. I do believe that I have my Starwind 2 node cluster up and running. however I do have couple of questions left to validate. #1 how can I validate my setup to make sure that all is working the way I want it to. i.e. that my syncs and iSCSI are actually using the 10GB port...
thanks Michael , yes I used this docs for my setup, but I run ahead and created all the device son the second node before getting back to the docs for verification. also I figure I want to convert the LSFS to normal file system. so is it possible to create an HA devices from targets with data alread...
Hello again. I got my second server this week and is setting it up right now. my question is this, if I get all the installation and setup done including the Starwind. can I reverse setup the starwind shares? I mean I have all up and running on new server (2x10GB NICs, 2x1GB NICs in a Team mode) as ...

Starwind log shows nothing special and SW event log show nothing at all. is this se...
thanks Michael, so, if I understand everything I have read so far. my best options to make all works is #1. get a second 10GB card for the current NODE1 order the NODE2 with a second 10GB card installed #2. Reserve the 10GB cards on both nodes for iSCSI and Sync #3. I can then, team-up all ports on ...
thank you Michael, I understand that I am limiting my self to 1GB. unfortunately at this moment that is all I have. also I have seen lots of how-to around, that contradict the no nic teaming statment I have seen many suggestions when using 10Gb ports to team them up and use vSwitch for everything. a...
