InphinitePhractals,
Indeed, I received a PM from you, but there were no creds there. Could you please send them to me?

If the node I do this on is the "master" what happens exactly? Is there an easy way to "move" the master? Could you please explain more what you meant by "master" here? If "master" meant node priority, it has no influence on the operations you need to perform...

InphinitePhractals,

C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 is merely a shortcut, as physically your VMs are stored on StarWind disks, but not the OS disk.

Hi enkidoe , Please refer to the following document https://www.starwindsoftware.com/technical_papers/StarWind-Virtual-SAN-Hyper-Converged-2-Node-Cluster-VMware-vSphere.pdf for insights on configuring clustered storage and iSCSI software adapter in VMware (page 32). Let us know if you encounter any ...

acarty, if "one single partition" from your previous answer means "one single RAID array", so the answer is positive. Be sure to create the datastore on top of the space remaining there after installation of ESXi and put StarWind VM onto that datastore.

Hi acarty , The initial steps for you would be the following ones: 1. Install ESXi onto your physical hosts. ESXi will take the necessary amount of space required from the whole disk capacity (in case no separate disk is used for OS). 2. Make an ESXi datastore on top of the remaining disk capacity a...

ADarkDividedGem , RAID10 would give you half of your total capacity as usable. According to StarWind Best Practices Guide https://www.starwindsoftware.com/technical_papers/StarWind-High-Availability-Best-practices.pdf (page 18) you can use RAID5 in your all-flash setup instead of RAID10. Thus you w...

Hi Paul, This situation happens because you use NTFS file system on top of the StarWind disk. NTFS file system does not support access to data from several machines, as it is not a cluster file system. Whenever you add the device to a cluster deployed in your environment and turn it into a Cluster S...
