Trial fits better for testing because it allows UI.
IMO, using Free for testing makes sense only if you do plan to go free straight away.

Is this procedure valid for removal?

Still is.

@LeoJS
Thanks for your help!

GUI management not allowed by license. This is normal because you use the Free version; it does not allow GUI. Mark the device as synchronized; see https://forums.starwindsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7456&p=41455&hilit=SyncHADevice#p41455 for more details. If sync interrupts or does...

Free license does not allow UI for LUN management, only monitoring.
Please install the Windows-based Management Console and check the status there.

Please take a careful look in this section of the guide:

$syncInterface="#p2=172.16.20.231:3260,172.27.21.231:3260",
$hbInterface="#p2=172.16.10.231:3260,172.27.31.199:3260",

We don't have any recommendations on pre-conversion checks.
The ones you outlined seem to make perfect sense. Good luck with your project.

Hi,

-port is missing.
-sync type is not optimal,
-some strange characters in the script.

You can grab the script from here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6852&p=37208&hilit=HINT8#p37208.

I think that's too much hassle to introduce a whole separate message. The thing is that we don't normally configure CVM to use a sort of "thick disks". They are supported configuration, but We stick with RDM or pass-through. Furthermore, we might introduce support for those disks down the ...

Thanks for reporting. Could you please also share the proxmox version that you are using?

Hi,

Try the ones from here https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware. ... d-version/.

Will the latest Windows VSAN build (currently build 20089) accept my existing perpetual VSAN Free V8 license with FreeLicense=1, LicenseType=22, servers=3, haimage and haimagesyncreplica? 20089, I believe. With this Free license and the latest Windows build, is 3-way synchronous replication with No...

If you are planning a fresh install, you can have the latest build (available here https://www.starwindsoftware.com/download-starwind-products). It works for 20212 R2. Please note that the Hypervisor and OS versions you are referring to are EOL and are no longer tested. There should be no issues usi...

Do you know what will happen if during the conversion and migration, there is new data going into the server/VM, will it able to migrate it over? When the living VM is converted, a snapshot is taken. The altered data lives in the snapshot. That snapshot gets merged after conversion is over so no ch...

Because to prevent this from happening, the safest plan is to power off the VM and then use the tool to convert and migrate.

You are right. V2V does not turn off the "source" after migration; it continues running.
We plan to automate the process somehow.

If you have Free, "you are locked here with me"
I've DM-ed you. Please note that this is for internal use only; not for prod.
Try PVSCSI option or something to expose the entire RAID (individual disks); something like RDM. We did not test it
