Hi All I'm getting usual speed test results when replication is enabled. I assume that I have something wrong with my configuration that’s not as noticeable when you’re using mechanical drives. I have two intel servers with Dual Xeon 4110 silver CPU’s, 192GB Ram and four Micron NVMe U.3 drives. Runn...

Are there any additional requirements to enable iSER? The iSER option is greyed out.

Hi All I'm after any recommendations on when/where to do RAID. I'm setting up a two node cluster. Instead of running a raid stripe on each node, I was thinking of creating a starwind device for each drive and then RAID striping them all into one drive. The advantage of RAID striping the starwind dev...

Its been a while since I played with starwind. I have installed starwind 8 with my NFR licence on windows 11 ent.
I am not getting the option to create a LSFS drive. Is there a limitation with windows 11 or has the licences changed?

I haven't done anything yet. Everything is still NTFS and starwind is thick provisioned.

All of the drives are NTFS already. I've had more than one corruption occur to these server. The only difference between these servers and others I manage is that these servers use starwind.

I recently had a database sitting on a starwind volume corrupt after one of the starwind nodes blue screened. I was thinking of changing this storage to ReFS with integrity checking turned on to prevent the corruption occurring again. The question is where should I use ReFS and where to enable the i...

Hi

Is it possible to do ram and flash caching to a physical drive?
I have an exiting cluster drive where i would like to introduce local ram and flash caching. Data replication between hosts is not required.

Hi
I solved the problem. It was the Intel pro network card drivers.

What are the default ports for starwind? These are the ports that i have in the starwind.cfg <BCastEnable value="yes"/> <BCastInterface value="0.0.0.0"/> <BCastPort value="3263"/> <Port value="3262"/> <listen value="*,"/> <CtlPort value="3261&qu...

Hi I upgraded my startwind to 8.0.0.13279. before the upgrade I had changed the starwind port to 3262. This was working before the starwind upgrade. Since the upgrade the nodes will not synchronize. The node that has been marked as synchronized displays the error message that the other node is not s...

is it possible to add a Asynchronous replication partner to an existing HA drive via powershell?

Yes it is a 3 server license
Is it possible that starwind requires the existing servers to be using the default ports

The error message appears after you press add. You don't get a chance to enter the details of the third server.

Here are the current network interfaces.
I can create a new drive and add a replication partner. Its only when I try to add the third replication partner.
