Re: vSphere 3-node VSAN & direct connect vMotion

In your lab, did vMotion work when enabled on 2 VMKernels per server?
If this doesn't work, it's maybe a good idea to update the white paper with the information that for a 3-node VSAN it's necessary to use a switch for vMotion.

Thanks!

Re: vSphere 3-node VSAN & direct connect vMotion

Yes, the settings are the same across all VMKs: Security Promiscuous mode Reject MAC address changes Reject Forged transmits Reject Traffic shaping Average bandwidth -- Peak bandwidth -- Burst size -- VMKPing also works. I've also tested VM migration by leaving vMotion enabled only on one VMKernel p...

Re: vSphere 3-node VSAN & direct connect vMotion

I did, but when doing vMotion, I get the above error.
On one server, vMotion selects VMK with IP 10.1.3.2 is selected, on another the IP 10.1.2.1. Because the link is wrong (no connection) and subnets don't match, it fails.

Thanks!

Re: vSphere 3-node VSAN & direct connect vMotion

Thanks! How do I overcome the situation that the wrong VMKernel port is used when vMotion is enabled on 2 VMKs per server? Failed waiting for data. Error 195887167. Connection closed by remote host, possibly due to timeout. Migration [167837953:8412176475878412281] failed to connect to remote host <...

vSphere 3-node VSAN & direct connect vMotion

Hello, does vMotion work in the configuration with only direct connections to each host if multiple vMotion VMKernels are configured (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2052092)? NOTE: It is recommended to set jumbo frames to 9000 on vSwitches and VMKernel ports for iSCSI and Synchronization traffic. A...

Re: StarWind VSAN for vSphere questions

Do you still recommend setting the following on both ESX nodes?
esxcli storage nmp psp roundrobin deviceconfig set --type=iops --iops=1 --device=eui.someid

Thanks!

Re: StarWind VSAN for vSphere questions

Hello,

was the build 14033 for VMware pulled back? I've tried to update from build 13861, but the updater says that the latest version is already installed.
Is it ok to use the Console build 14033 for VMware VSAN with build 13861? I cannot find the Console build 13861 anywhere.

Thanks!

Re: HA image falling out of sync

Thank you, I've performed the changes. Should I also change the size of the Write-Back cache?
