Re: Version 11818 release notes clarification

Hi Mitmont,
This mean you should disconnect/shut down all the clients that are using StarWind devices. Shut down production VMs that are using the storage before putting devices of the node into maintenance mode.

Re: StarWind Crash

Hi muhfugen, Looks like that it falls on the processing of extended commands VAAi. Try to disable hardware acceleration. It can be done by stopping StarWind service and then changing the parameter <HardwareAccelerationEnabled value="yes"/> to <HardwareAccelerationEnabled value="no&quo...

Re: Should i have a dedicated volume/LUN for each HA-device?

Hi Sergey Pugachov, In terms of performance and stability I would recommend you to follow option: a) I create 2 RADI10 from 4 HDDS on each server and place a ha-image on each own lun You can find the recommended RAID settings following this link: https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware.com/guidance/r...

Re: Synchronizing stays at 81%

Hi chrisguk,
The possible reason could be in Jumbo frames misconfiguration. Jumbo frames should be enabled or disabled on both sides.
Also, please check Windows application and system logs, it can be the problem with storage/failed disks.

Hi matt001,
