File corruption on some synced media files

I have the two servers, one of them I had to replace the drive and re-sync the data over, but now I can't open any ISO files or play media files stored on the synced volume. I have no problem on the original one. I then deleted the drive and started a fresh sync from scratch, and I have the same pro...

Starwind Vsan on windows installation problems & solutions

I started using this software about a month ago, and had nothing but problems initially, but with some help from ivan and ALOT of troubleshooting and deleting / recreating volumes, I think I have it running pretty well. Copying data back to the Vsan clusters from USB drivers I hot 350MB/s+ and 6Gbit...

Re: Starwind Vsan, installation troubles

So I found some issues with my infiniband, and after some more testing, I've confirmed that the bottleneck is the loopback adapter, I can map a drive via iSCSI across the infiniband and I get 4x the write speed to an SSD on the other server. I also noticed that evertime I reboot, the "iscsidisc...

Re: Heartbeat Network unavailable

10Gb network is not working still, I get a red X through it when I add the IP. It's also a cluster network so there is an additional IP on one of the nics, so I wonder if that's the problem?

Windows Common Performance Issue

Is there an article somewhere that lists the common issues that affect windows with their fixes? I keep digging around each thread trying to find a good fix and there doesn't seem to a "Poor performance? Check this, and this and this" type thread / article anywhere. I think if there was a ...

Re: Starwind Vsan, installation troubles

Capture2.PNG There is definitely something weird going on. I created a 5gb Virtual drive on a locally attached SSD, and then mapped it via iscsi loopback, and didn't add in the secondary connection to the other server, to remove the network and the RAID controllers as a source of issues, and I get ...

Re: Starwind Vsan, installation troubles

I've been working with this over the last 3 days and i've about lost my marbles. The two servers are close via hardware, but not exactly the same: Node #1: LSI 9271, With Cachevault, no cachecade Node #2: LSI 9260 without a BBU, but has cachecade enabled with 2x 250Gb SSDs mirrored. Both servers a 4...

Re: Heartbeat Network unavailable

Hello michael.blanchard, Thank you for your interest in StarWind solution! Could you please change the subnet for HB channel (which is 172.16.9.xx) from 9 to any other? How this networks connected? Directly or via the switch? I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yes, that fixed it changing the...

Heartbeat Network unavailable

3 networks: 10.100.100.x (Infiniband 20gb network) 172.16.9.x (10Gb ethernet) 172.16.9.xx (1Gb ethernet) Making devices, I select the 10.100x network and/or the 10gb ethernet adapter for the replication network, then the 1gb network for heartbeat. Once I add a partner, I always have an "X"...

Starwind Vsan, installation troubles

(2) servers. Connected via 1 20gb infiniband link (10.100.100.4), 1 10gb ethernet link (172.16.9.4), and 1 1gb ethernet links (172.16.9.24). ideally, replication traffic will flow over the infiniband and the ethernet link, with heartbeat going over the gigabit. 1x 256Gb NVMe drive for flash cache 1x...
