Re: SAN & NAS Free - Reconnect raid after reinstall

Any news on it?

If you can explain how it is setup on the Linux side so it can be detected in StarWind SAN & NAS, I could be of help. I know a lot about zfs and mbr. But I don't know how the link is made between the two.

I'm using SAN & NAS Free on VMware ESXi 7.0u3. I had to completely reinstall the appliance after deleting the primary vmdk by accident (it's a test server). On it I have 4 SATA hard disks configured as RDM. After reinstalling SAN & NAS and skipping storage configurations, I clicked on "...

Re: SAN & NAS Free no vCenter Plugin...

I just saw that I didn't have the last version on the site. I just reinstall the build 14120 and now the plugin link is there. However, I had to restart the RAIDZ and iSCSI from zero... Is it possible to update SAN & NAS Free without redeploy the OVF? If not, maybe a step to see if there"s ...

Re: StarWind SAN & NAS Free Appliance software raid issue

Hello myrandor, It was suggested to assign disks to VM as RDM instead of pass-through the controller. Please let us know if it helps. That's what I just do... After deleting the first 1000 block using dd, the disks was able to be use. At last! I also removed the raid hardware to use RAIDZ. I suppos...

Re: StarWind SAN & NAS Free Appliance software raid issue

Another issue, after a couple reboot, I just saw that the bus address changed. This make the "pool" not detect correctly. Also, if I "rescan", the "database" of StarWind doesn't remove the old disks. Last week I had to re-install SAN/NAS because the disk (HW Raid passth...

Re: StarWind SAN & NAS Free Appliance software raid issue

Yeah sorry, it's concerning SAN & NAS Free. I just updated the subject of the thread. As for the disks, I just recreated a gpt label, a full xfs partition and formatted it with XFS. Still not detected in the Web Interface. I really think something is missing in the detection of drives. I know fo...

Re: StarWind VSAN Free Appliance software raid issue

Here's how it appears when I don't create a software raid manually. There's no "bus protocol" or "slot number" for NVMe. Is it normal?
