A mix of what you described :) I received the free key during the first download (couple of months ago) I had no time/hardware to do the tests, so an account manager sent me (7-10 days ago) a trial key (expiration on Jan 4th 2018) on which I'm running my PoC in this moment I think the free features ...

Hello,

I think I'm in the same situation of wallewek.. will I be able to switch from "trial" license to "free" one without service disruption (before end of trial period, of course)?

Hello, I've to wake up again this thread, because I've some doubts regarding VSAN shutdown / restart Right now I've a running hyperconverged Hyper-V+StarWind cluster with a couple of HA images configured I'm able to shutdown one node (e.g. node 1) and the other one (node 2) takes all the resources (...

I'm going to connect both 10 GB ports of Server1 directly to the corresponding ports of Server2 (I know the diagram shows NICs connected to switches.. excuse me).. somethink like this: Server1-Port1 <-> Server2-Port1 Server1-Port2 <-> Server2-Port2 In this way, I'll have two different 10 Gbit channe...

What about networking? Is it ok to use a configuration similar to the one below, in a Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster? https://www.petri.com/wp-content/uploads/image49.png iSCSI1 and iSCSI2 will be the two 10 Gbit ports, and they will host StarWind replication traffic too The virtual switch will use all the...

Hello Ivan, what I meant was: 10x 10k SAS disks in RAID 10 should perform 1450 100% random read IOPS and 725 100% random write IOPS These are the pure performances of disks/RAID, that I could reach directly accessing the volume (e.g. using an Hyper-V VM with VHDX hosted on the Windows volume) What w...

Ok, so write-back and read-ahead on RAID controllers What about expected performance? 10 10k disks in RAID 10 should reach more or less: 1450 read-IOPS 725 write-IOPS How much these data will be affected by StarWind VSAN? And last but not least: with 2.7 TB (10 600 GB disks) of usable data, how much...

Hello Ivan, thank you very much for your answers! One clarification: did I understand correctly that Write-Back as write policy must be set on StarWind , while Read-Ahead as read policy must be set on the RAID controller ? What about write policy on the RAID controller? Moreover: may you please bett...

Hello everybody, I'm planning to build a new hyperconverged infrastructure based on Hyper-V cluster (W 2012 R2 Datacenter) and StarWind Virtual SAN Idea is to use two old Fujitsu RX300 S7 , configured as below: 2x E5-2640 (6-core with HT) 96 GB of RAM 12x 600 GB SAS 10k on a DS2616 RAID controller (...
