Re: No resources visible when trying to V2V from VMware vCenter

Please stick with this workaround for now. I will try to get hold of the dev team.
Do you use administrator credentials?

Re: No resources visible when trying to V2V from VMware vCenter

Can you please try root credentials for the ESXi host where the VM is running?
Please tell me more about ESXi, vCenter, and Hyper-V versions in use.

Re: Esxi to Hyper-V

Please, tell me more.
Namely, where do you run the converter? What are the ESXi and Hyper-V versions in use?
Try a different machine (e.g., try running it locally as an administrator).

Please see this comment. To file an internal request I need more info

Re: VSAN-Free pass whole disk in HA

Ah - can I switch to "write-thru" L1 cache just by editing the .swdsk files then? Stop service, edit, re-start? Yes. IMO, Write-through does not help as it boosts only reads (already improved due to reading from both StarWind VSAN devices). Write-back boosts both writes and reads, yet the...

Re: VSAN-Free pass whole disk in HA

A failure journal might not switch when things like a power outage happen. RAM grants performance, and continuous, in turn, helps to avoid full synchronization. If there is a write-back cache, though, there will always be full synchronization https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware.com/explanation/re...

Re: VSAN-Free pass whole disk in HA

You are always welcome :) You can change the bitmap location with the GUI fairly easily https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware.com/guidance/how-to-change-synchronization-journal-for-starwind-ha-devices/. Without a GUI, you need to alter the creation script. Bitmap type (bmpType) can be 1 - RAM, 2 - ...

Re: CVM Appliance on HYPER-V - offline problem.

Welcome to StarWind Forum! I am sorry to say that it is a known issue, I hope it to be fixed in future builds. Try readding the node that is offline. This can also be the time mismatch between the nodes. p.s. if you already have CVM, do you want to join our NVMe-oF beta (production-ready version sho...

Re: VSAN-Free pass whole disk in HA

Thanks for sharing your experience. - Can you move the .img, .swdsk.bak to another drive later if the same drive letter is assigned? Yes. just make sure the same folder structure is in place.

Re: Best Practices before VM migration from ESXi/VMware

The short answer will be "It depends": remove VMware Tools if they cause problems.

Re: Best solution for a hyper-v stretched cluster

There is a better way to set it up, as Hyper-V replica does not offer that seamless switch and migration, AFAIK.
Also, there are tons of benefits of the active-active replicated storage over active-passive in terms of reliability.
