Re: Hyper-V Host Update - VSAN Failover Issues

Thank you Yaroslov for the email. It was very thorough and I will follow the recommended restart procedure and the additional POA you provided. I noticed that the time zone was incorrectly set on Node3. Node 3 ran for 1 hour before I rebooted it in an effort to resolve the problem. Node2 restart: 20...

Hyper-V Host Update - VSAN Failover Issues

I work for a 24-7 call center and have had great success with Starwinds VSAN product. Being able to move VMs between Hyper-V hosts with minimal downtime and then perform updates has been a life saver. A few months ago I had to rebuild a RAID array after hardware failure. When complete I added the ne...

Re: RAID Failure - Rebuilding Node

Is there a place I could download different versions of VSAN? I worry that going straight to the latest version might not be a good idea, even if it's just for the Libraries.

Re: RAID Failure - Rebuilding Node

Thank you,

I was wondering if updating only the Integrated Component Library would work. That's great, I'll go that route and update software after.

Re: RAID Failure - Rebuilding Node

Hi Yaroslav,

I'm receiving the error "A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts the argument 'Node'" when I run AddHaPertner. Is this because the version I'm running predates the AddHaPartner script (it wasn't included in the powershell folder).

Thank you

Re: RAID Failure - Rebuilding Node

Thank you,

If you could provide a copy of the powershell script that would be great.

Re: RAID Failure - Rebuilding Node

Thank you Yaroslav,

It looks like I'm missing the AddHaPartner.ps script in the version I'm running. I could download a newer version and get the script, would that cause any problems?

Thanks again

RAID Failure - Rebuilding Node

Morning all, I provide support for a small call center and back in 2017/2018 configured a 2 Node StarWind VSAN (Free) on a couple servers then setup them up to be HyperConverged Hyper-V. After some initial issues the system has run flawlessly. This past week the unthinkable happened. A RAID drive fa...

Re: Performance Sanity Check

Thank you Boris, I've got a plan to give the servers a 10 Gbps server to server connection for ISCSI this weekend. I'll update this thread with new benchmarks when complete.

Re: Performance Sanity Check

The ISCSI target is using a NIC team, would that cause problems?

What would you expect to see for IOPS using starwind with a 12 10K disk Raid 10 array?

Re: Performance Sanity Check

Sounds like it should be doing better, I just check it is a fixed disk. What else should I be looking at?

Performance Sanity Check

Hello All, I'm running some diskspd tests on our Starwind HA Cluster. I have 12 2.5 inch hard drives (10K - 600G) configured in Raid 10. It's a clustered Hyper-V environment. Testing from inside VM yields the following results for random 4k reads and writes. I think these results are par for spindle...
