Set up vSAN Free and Hyper-V Cluster from scratch

Hi, I have been using vSAN Free and Hyper-V Cluster for about 3 years now, and just decided to rebuild the Hyper-V cluster. I don't recall changing anything at all with the two vSAN nodes, but the newly rebuilt Hyper-V Cluster nodes could not connect to iSCSI, (I kept getting a licence error). So I ...

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I never wound up finding a solution for the scripts. I looked at the "good examples and they did not work either. Starwind sent me a trial code which I used to recreate everything in the management console, before switching back to the "free" key.

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I logged a support request to fix the cluster storage. I retried the witness script with IP addresses and got this; PS C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell> & '.\CreateHA(two nodes)Witness1.ps1' Connection to HCCL1SS1 ( 10.25.0.11 ) : 3261 has failed I have a ...

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I cancelled it after 10 minutes at still 0% and tried the syncHAadvanced script and got this error; HAImage1 Device not synchronized.

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I just edited the CreateHA(two nodes).ps1 file and saved it as CreateHA(two nodes)Witness1.ps1 with the first bit entered as; Import-Module StarWindX try { Enable-SWXLog $server = New-SWServer -host 192.168.242.12 -port 3261 -user root -password starwind $server.Connect() $firstNode = new-Object Nod...

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I now have two servers with no devices or targets. Recreating the witness will not be an issue. But recreating the cluster storage might be, because it's 5Tb. I do still have the image file for the cluster storage. I just need to recreate teh devices and targets then synchronize to the other server.

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I just broke the other node trying to fix things :( I used the commands to remove the device on the remote node but forgot to edit the IP address. I may or may not have said some very naughty words! I do have a backup of the two images files. Is there an easy way to recreate the HA stuff using exist...

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

Can anyone else help? I'm happy to post examples of the scripts I created and network details of the node. I've got as far as getting it to recreate the image file, but it doesn't copy the licence text files and fails to enable HA. If one doesn't exist, I'm happy to create my own idiots guide. I don...

Re: VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

I actually did that before posting. I get "200 Failed: operation cannot be completed." Because I am partially blind, and the responses are in very small writing, in red, that's about all I can read. I'm sure it's gonna be a syntax thing cos I can see both nodes in the management console, (...

VSAN Free recover from RAID array crash

Hi all, I had two hard drives fail while I was away on leave, and take down the RAID array on one node of the VSAN. I've rebuild the array, and all the config was still there because the boot drive is separate. I ran RemoveHAPartner for both images on the working node so it could come online. I'm tr...
