Re: need help

You would need to reinstall the StarWind VSAN software and when creating a new device you would use an existing disk rather than creating a new one.

Re: LSFS over-provisioning

Daniel, The thing about LSFS is that it does grow over time as data operations are processed. Your device's size is not just 1TB, it's 2.49TB. And taking into account the 2x overprovisioning ratio for an LSFS device you would need at least 7.47TB of the physical storage. Your value of 7.48TB is pret...

Re: StarWind vSAN Free not syncing

I'm not 100% sure if the network is fine. How can i test it?
Simply by using ping. That would give you an idea whether networking is fine.

Re: StarWind vSAN Free not syncing

Can you confirm the network connectivity is not broken? What scripts and on which nodes have you tried to make the sync process happen?

Re: How to monitor remotely?

bertram,

I am not sure you can get the status of sync/heartbeat interfaces from StarWindX. You might want to monitor that using networking monitoring tools. StarWind relies on the physical networking, so that way will definitely work. batiati's approach does make sense, I believe.

Re: LSFS over-provisioning

In the view of that, you will either need to increase the capacity of the current disk, if possible. If not, perform data migration to another location and then recreate the disk. Yet keep in mind an imagefile based one could be better for your environment. If you prefer using LSFS, you can create a...

Re: Support for QCOW3

https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter states the formats StarWind V2V supports, and it lists only QCOW2 as supported, but no QCOW3.

Re: StarWind vSAN Free not syncing

Is at least one of the nodes synchronized? What is the build that you had this issue appearing with?
