Re: Extremely slow sync data rate

Ah that was the script for the single-link HA I did to try and simplify my setup to isolate the problem, I also did do a multi-link HA device with the same format as you described, and got the same results, one link and ~48kbs rate on the link. My multi-link sync/hb was like (just node 1 for example...

Re: Extremely slow sync data rate

The disk is a single 1TB ~5400RPM (I think) SATA drive in an dell R710, with a "Perc H700" as the raid card, the disk is presented via Raid 0, but is a single disk. I have tried this on a SATA SSD in the same configuration a few weeks back and ran into the same exact issues, though I was j...

I am just starting to tinker with setting up VSAN Free via powershell on my 2-node hyper-v server 2019 setup. I have created several "HA Devices" between my two nodes and each time have run into the same problem. Once I create the device, the "sync" uses only 1 interface at most,...

That's actually amazing. I thought I was being too hopeful in my guesses, but it's even better than I thought! Thanks for the response.

What is the iSCSI channel between nodes for?

What are the iSCSI channels used for within a VSAN cluster? I understand the sync channel is used for keeping the underlying storage on each node locally in sync, but I do not yet understand what the iSCSI traffic is for. An external host can talk to the VSAN cluster as if it is an iSCSI device yes?...
