Re: 2 Nodes Node Majority + Witness node

You are always welcome. Thanks for sharing your tests! I also want to confirmed whether 2 Node HA with heartbeat have different behaviour with 2 Node HA with Witness node (Node Majority) ? Yes. Because Node Majority implies the network configuration that is vulnerable to split-brain. That's why the ...

Re: Advice Needed: Using StarWind VSAN on a 14-inch AMD Laptop for a Home Lab Setup

You can run VSAN VM or Windows Application on a laptop, yet that's not recommended. For a better experience, VSAN should run on the industry-grade hardware that fits system requirements https://www.starwindsoftware.com/system-requirements.

These are the warnings, nothing serious.
To remove them, check the lvm.conf for duplicates and comment them out.

Re: Hyper-V cluster automatic start

Hi,

Yes, sadly, there's no ready script here.
Take a look at what I have: it might help you to shut down and start up things smoothly.

Re: Free VSan Recovery, Hash Sync, iSER

You are always welcome! I am happy to help. Thanks for your comments, let me try addressing them. Perhaps there should be a flag/option for that script to force this marking as it was not obvious how to fix it. Only discovered that flag comparing with older/backup .swdsk files. As there's the script...

Welcome to StarWind Forum. Two notes:
-vROC is not supported.

Re: Hyper-V cluster automatic start

I think this is more a question for Microsoft than StarWind VSAN. Failover Cluster VMs have failover thresholds. Once exceeded, the VM does not start up. The CSV might not come up online in time as well, as the cluster is too fast to poll the resources. If VSAN was able to sort out the synchronizati...

Re: 2 Nodes Node Majority + Witness node

You are always welcome :) I am happy I could help.

Please also make sure that the bitmap storage is as fast or faster than the device that houses *img.

P.s. bitmap will not save you from node isolation consequences or turning off a node iff write-back caching is enabled.

Re: 2 Nodes Node Majority + Witness node

You are always welcome! Yes, you got it right. In 2-node HA+ witness StarWind HA can tolerate only one node down. Speaking about outages, explore disk journals https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware.com/guidance/how-to-change-synchronization-journal-for-starwind-ha-devices/. P.S. It will be cool to ...

Re: Free VSan Recovery, Hash Sync, iSER

Can this "full hash" is be used for other devices, especially SSDs? It would help a lot with SSD wear not to just copy a whole SSD onto another when it could just have compared the hashes? Full hash sync is happening only for Storage Spaces. Speaking of how to mark the node as synchronize...
