Problems with Servers and StarWind Virtual SAN v8 – Any Advice?

[oliviabarn]

Hello Community,

I’m currently facing some challenges with servers and the StarWind Virtual SAN v8. I’ve been using StarWind Virtual SAN v8 to enhance my server performance and data management, but have encountered a few difficulties along the way. I’m hoping to get some insights from those with experience using this product in a servers environment.

Here are the areas where I’ve run into issues:

Server Integration: I’m experiencing some challenges in smoothly integrating StarWind Virtual SAN v8 with existing servers. Are there specific configurations or settings that can improve compatibility?

Performance Issues: I’ve noticed occasional slowdowns when handling heavy data loads with StarWind Virtual SAN v8 on my servers. What are some tips or best practices to optimize the performance?

Reliability: Has anyone faced issues with uptime or reliability while using StarWind Virtual SAN v8 in their servers? If so, how did you resolve them?

If you have any suggestions, troubleshooting tips, or experiences related to using StarWind Virtual SAN v8 with servers, I’d greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you!

StarWind VSAN is hardware-agnostic.
Can you please explain what the issue is?

I’ve noticed occasional slowdowns when handling heavy data loads with StarWind Virtual SAN v8 on my servers.

Tell me more about the scenario (CVM, Windows-based app), hypervisor, hardware you use (storage, NICs (bandwidth, how they are connected, MTU settings)), and how exactly the problem manifests itself.
Make sure to follow deployment documentation, best practices (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/best-p ... practices/), and system requirements (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/system-requirements).

Has anyone faced issues with uptime or reliability while using StarWind Virtual SAN v8 in their servers?

VSAN, like any software, is not perfect. What makes it good is how the issues are handled
See release notes and keep your software up-to-date https://www.starwindsoftware.com/release-notes-build.
