Thanks again for a fair reply, Boris. Any and all NIC's may fail, their host bus, the MB driving both, or the PSU. That's what I meant earlier about SMB. Sorry, this thread got a messy start. I'd just like to confirm what a representative at spiceworks mentioned. That heartbeat only needs 100-500ms ...

thirdbird , From your description of the test scenario with WB, it looks like you used only one network interface for everything , which makes me think the same interface was used for Sync and for Heartbeat. If my suggestion is true, then in case of putting down this link you encountered the classi...

Your defensive support strategy is ridiculous. WB absolutely destroyed my testing the first time, hands down, it's what happened, no question about it - IN THAT SCENARIO, just say yes - in a bad scenario as that, WB was it. That's how it worked, no matter how you try to politic your way around it. T...

It was obviously all about WB. Did a lot of testing tonight and when using WT I had no corruptions at all, not a single one. There were just some "indexes for file 0x9" repairs that I google to be nothing of importance. I've tested single node disconnects, shutdowns, instant power off's, a...

I made 2 LUNs (2xtarget, 2ximages), initiated them with mpio and set them up as MSCS quorum witness (1 GB) and Hyper-V VM role storage (128 GB) . 2 servers = 2 nodes. 1 NIC for everything per server (lab test) on a single switch. I simulate failovers by simply pulling individual NIC's creating a ful...

I'd like to follow up this thread a bit. I've done some testing after getting warm with the powershell scripts and setting up a 2-node homelab with only laptops, so using a single NIC for everything. That means that when I pull a plug, they become entirely separated. I set up a VM sharing the VSAN s...

What made you change your minds about allowing hyperconverged setups in the free version? Now that it's here, I'm afraid of depending on it - incase you remove it again. What assurance can you provide that it will stay restriction free?

Thank you. It turns out I can't use the Free version anyway. Based on external forums where I learned about StarWind VSAN it was indicated that I could use the free version on hypervisor hosts (hyper-converged?) but seems that is no longer the case. I tried chat support on the website and got an off...

2 hosts, A and B. They use the product to replicate a simple shared folder. A goes down, B takes over. B runs for a week because of hardware changes in A. A comes up again, but now B goes down. Now A is stuck with old files because B can't replicate back. A is forced to wait for B. How will VSAN Fre...
