I have a 2012 failover cluster setup with two windows storage system running SW virtual SAN and two windows nodes. They have been setup according to the documentation and the iSCSI connections initiate the block devices correctly. When I perform a failover or rather continuously available test on th...

Hi there,

Just created my new devices and target. The sync will not pass Synchronizing: 81%. Whats the reason for this?

Is there a powershell guide and step by step to install vSAN adding new devices and setting up replication? Through the gui of course you can select the Heartbeart and Sync networks too.

Hi Ivan, Thank you for your reply. Presently Starwind looks great to me as solution for us. Something that the documentation doesn't present is how you would store the VMs. I have to assume that once the CSV has been created you need to create a Scale out file server and then the shares for the VM s...

My setup includes 2 storages with Windows 2016 install and to HyperV host servers also with server 2016 installed. I have the 2 heartbeat and Sync networks together with a seperate LAN for management and Hyper-V. This whole platform sits in a nested VMware host by the way. I suddenly found that I am...

I want to use the vSAN free for a compute and storage model. But I cannot seem to find any definite guide on how to achieve this. My main questions really is the starting point.
