so I shut down the VMs and initiate the replication. Can I start the VMs while the replication job is on?

Before I started the sync job (replication), I was warned that there must be no iSCSI connections active to the primary vSAN. If all iSCSI connections are still active and the VMs are running, how risky is it to start the sync job?

Hello, we have 3 nodes hyperv connected to a single StarWind VSAN and we are planning to add a secondary VSAN and enable the replication/sync with the primary VSAN. Other than affecting the performance during sync/replication between vsan1 and vsan2, is it recommended to start the storage replicatio...

I will share the results today or maxi tomorrow.
Re. fewer sessions: 3 local and 2 partner. can you please elaborate? how to configure multi-sessions?

(we just recommend devices be below 7 TB to avoid full sync overlapping with backups or production workloads)

if I have a 15TB storage, do you recommend splitting it for multiple CSV? 7TB, 7TB, 1TB?

Thanks

I believe this to be related to iSCSI itself. Try at least 5 "local" and 3 "partner" iSCSI sessions. Should improve the performance. how to configure multiple iSCSI sessions? can you please elaborate? does this work with 1 NIC 25Gbps dedicated for HB +iSCSI? I have two nodes onl...

Hi,

Yes after I updated the iSCSI connection, I tried to restart both nodes, and the VMs migrated from node1 to node2 seamlessly and vice versa.

So if iSER is an experimental feature, do you mean it is not recommended for production use? please advise.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Yaroslav, I have managed to fix the iSCSI connections and everything seems to be working fine so far. meanwhile, I need to ask you about iSER, the NIC I'm using for this deployment supports RDMA, however, my question is iSER connectivity between two nodes should be on the Sync interfaces only? th...

Dear Sirs, I installed a trial vsan with HyperV on windows server 2022. however, I followed the setup wizard as in the link below: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resource-library/starwind-virtual-san-for-hyper-v-2-node-hyperconverged-scenario-with-windows-server-2016/ however, if I restart "V...
