I see. Well I'm just making sure about this, so thank you for your response yaroslav!

Hello, quick question. And I'm sorry if this question seems stupid, knowing VSAN Starwind is all about automating active-active synchronization between storage devices. But is it still possible to manually copy the data from one partner node to the other? Let's say, one of the HAImage in one of my n...

I see, okay. Thank you for your response , yaroslav. Have a good day!

I don't quite follow it. StarWind VSAN offers active-active replicated storage. Until the link between the data nodes is up, both of them publish storage and therefore are synchronized. If one of them goes down, fast synchronization happens. 11/25 12:19:00.371122 7b78 HA: *** Witness::acquireSimple...

Hello, I have some questions regarding my implementation of VSAN Starwind Free using SMB Witness. The source of synchronization's node is having this log. Looks like I have some timeout connection to my SMB Witness from the HAImage node. But the synchronization still occurs between two nodes. 11/25 ...

I don't follow. What recommendation are you referring to? Nevermind yaroslav, I've actually misunderstood some points from the knowledge base I refer. I've done my HAImage setup to not use Write-Back cache and use disk-based synchronization journal. But it seems I miss the point that say "If t...

Hello, I want to ask some question regarding the synchronization of VSAN Starwind. I'm using VSAN Starwind Free and currently using 2 Node HAImage and another node as the witness using SMB Witness for node majority failover strategy. This question is for when I want to test failover after all the HA...

I see, pretty interesting. Hope this feature as you said will go to production soon. Really looking forward to it, for now I will play and see what VSAN Starwind will behave based on your recommendation earlier. Thank you so much for your responses, yaroslav. Have a nice day!

I see. Also, another question, you said when using multiple channels/interfaces they work in round-robin. Is it still possible to make the sync process redundant? So even when one sync interface/channel is down, the sync process is not interrupted and the replication progress not loss.

Hey, thank you for the fast response. Truly appreciate your recommendations, I will try to implement it. But could you elaborate on why removing the cache is actually better than having one or two?

Hello, currently I'm trying to deploy VSAN Starwind Free for Failover Clustering 2 Windows Server with 2 Witness Node in different site. The placement on each site is 1 Windows Server and 1 Witness Node. And each NIC have it's own subnet like what's recommended by Starwind, and have different multip...
