Re: "Device is not synchronized"

The Synchronization option is greyed out in the console, I assume it is simply marked as "Not synchronized" due to the fact it says it has no connection on any of the IP addresses to NodeA, despite the other two images being connected the same way. I have restarted the StarWind VSAN servic...

Re: CSV setup with existing data

The cluster verification was being done from a virtualized server, and as the test for some reason killed the iSCSI connection to VSAN, the VM powered off and verification did not complete so I have no logs to look at. I believe I will need to attach temporary storage and migrate VHD's back from the...

Re: CSV setup with existing data

Following along with the same guide, I started the verification tests (step 83) and almost immediately all of the iSCSI targets became inaccessible and of course all VM's had an improper shutdown. Currently I have multiple VM's running on two different VSAN HA images, they are all currently running ...

Re: CSV setup with existing data

Hi Boris,

I can bring the disks online - that shouldn't be a problem. The issue will be when I then start the setup for CSV - I believe CSV requires the disks to be blank. Is this incorrect?

Thanks.

CSV setup with existing data

Hello, Initially I did not have access to my second host, so when I install and configured VSAN I connected to the local iSCSI and made them online and assigned drive letters (Y, Z). I now have VM's stored in these Y/Z drives and now have the second host online. I configured VSAN replication and wai...

Re: New setup scenario / sanity check

Hi Boris, Thanks again I will be able to add and additional NIC to each of the servers for replication interface. For the witness disk though, does each server not see its own copy of the witness disk since it is replicated? Does this not give us 4 votes? Sorry I'm just not clear on this part. Thank...

Re: New setup scenario / sanity check

Hi Boris, Thank you for the information. The idea for 2012R2 on the new host is a good one, unfortunately I already have a VM running on the new 2016 host and there is not enough storage space until the older host is upgraded as there are also VMs coming from a third host which will be decommissione...
