Ahh yes, totally missed that. Given its NVMe disks will give it a go after my test cases without cache and let you know if any improvement.

Thanks

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, when attempting alter the scheduler i receive: It appears noop is not available i guess.

Thanks for the confirmation on the SW Cache removal. I have now done that and will retest.

Hi Am working with a SW account manager on a trial and as part of some of my testing, am looking to disable the 2GB write-back cache that i setup initially. We are running two Supermicro E200-8Ds with 64GB in each, both with Intel NVME drives, and 10GB NICs for Sync and iSCSI/vMotion. The vSphere VS...

Hi Have been testing Starwind for vSphere for a while on a small cluster. After upgrading to the most recent version i noticed a small number of alerts relating to write delays and similar such as: Device iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:172.16.250.51-storage-1400gb: command "WRITE". Partn...

I deployed two instances of appliances, one on each host, and setup each on the same PortGroups as the the windows instances based on Starwind Free. I created each a 500GB virtual disk and then c...

Yep, that definitely showed a difference with a total of ~9.5GB/sec with 4 threads. I now have a working setup in testing, with two hosts, direct network cabling between 10GB ports ...

Hi Michael Thanks for taking the time to respond. I got up and running with a POC yesterday and used that guide. All in all, very straight forward. Regarding the events and notifications, as I am on the free version for now, I assume the configuration tab option you mention is not possible. Can this...

Awesome, thanks for the replies and insight!!

I'll keep testing it today, but all looks very positive so far!

Hi all So, am setting up a small VMware environment for internal services and lab work. Having looked at VMware vSAN and Starwind, it appears for a 2 node cluster, Starwind makes most sense at this stage. Working through design on paper, i think i am on the right track, but want input from those of ...
