Re: VSAN Down

Hi,

We already checked the storage and all SSDs , HDDs , Controller Raid, are OK .

Backups are scheduled at night but Starwind VMS are not concerned by that.

We collect the logs and send everything.

I precise we are using the last version of starwind (Version 8 build 14033)

Thanks again.

Re: L2 Cache Max Size

ok got it (RTFD)

1To for 6.5 RAM.... That was the trick. I added RAM on the VM and it works perfectly.

I don't get why we could loose any data. If it's a cluster with 2 nodes and a HA device with same parameters L1 and L2 cache (WT).
