So, We have rebuilt both SAN nodes with Server 2012 R2, just to rule out any issues with 2016 (recently upgraded them) and we re-created all Xenserver hypervisor nodes with 7.1 LTSR. Found that the issue had occurred again. Rebuilt them again and configured the HAImage disk with 8GB RAM Cache, 200GB...

Hi, I wonder if this is a known issue or something new. We recently rebuilt our environment and in doing so we downloaded the lastest version of starwind. Now this specific environment is a bit older than the others and is running on HP DL320 G6s. We have 3 of them in the cluster. Now we originally ...

Thanks Ivan,

Will get a call logged.
Any indications as to when the next version is due to be released with updated StarwindX & documentation?


Many Thanks
Rob Charlton

Hi Ivan, Following on from your last comment I have had to rebuild one of our nodes. Our trial license of the management console has now expired. I followed your previous advice trying to re-apply a temporary trial license to the management console however it appears it knows already that a trial li...

Hi, Many thanks for the reply. Can you confirm if after the 30 days the management console expires it can be re-activated if the functionality is only available in the management console. I am a little concerned that once my 30 days expire I am going to be considerably limited in the actual function...

Hi, We have upgraded to the latest version we still have a few weeks of our management console license left, but I am keen to know how to do some things via PowerShell once the console has expired. Our two storage servers are identical with the following C: 32GB (OS) D: 60GB (SSD) E: 2TB (SATA) We h...

Hi,

No, sorry I rebuilt both the boxes.
I did check the logs but the last updates basically said it was syncing but nothing else in the logs and it never finished.

Many Thanks for coming back to me.

Kind Regards,
Rob

Hi, We did try to restart the second node, this caused them to both stop syncing. Following the advise here on the forum, I again stopped the second node and set the primary node as the valid node. Starting the service on the second node this caused a full sync to start again. Another 4 hours and th...

Hi, Is anyone able to help. I have for the first time with Starwind setup and 2 node SAN. We have previously just been using a single node. I have created a new disk image with a flash-cache and then set it to replicate. Replication starts without issue and its said it would take about 5 hours to re...

Hi, Sorry - our setup was only to one host but we wanted multipath enabled. We found that the default was Active/Passive or Active/Failover which caused us performance problems as we only had a single 1GB link at any time. We found that the ALUA was a functionality that is only used when you have mo...

Hi all, So after much playing around and reading some information from someone on the forum doing something similar with FreeNAS we have found the settings that work with Citrix Xenserver 7.x In Starwind the defaults are set to First Burst = 65536 Max Burst = 262144 Max data segment = 65536 So based...

Hi all, Wonder if someone can help?? We have a small platform used to publish VDIs to our customers. As the platform is growing we recently had some performance issued and noticed that the two Xenservers are both only using one if the two NICs dedicated for iSCSI storage. We have seen the two docs a...
