Hi Everyone,
I’m new to StarWind Virtual SAN and excited to explore its potential in a home lab environment. My goal is to create a compact setup to learn more about virtualization and shared storage concepts. To achieve this, I plan to use a laptop as my primary machine for the lab.
The idea is to install StarWind VSAN on a laptop and use it to set up a small virtual environment where I can experiment with shared storage for virtual machines. I’m particularly interested in understanding how StarWind VSAN handles resource allocation and its performance on modest hardware.
I’ve read through the documentation, but I’d like to hear from the community about:
Real-world Experiences: Has anyone tried using StarWind VSAN in a home lab scenario? What were your takeaways?
Configuration Tips: Are there specific settings or tweaks you recommend for a smooth setup?
Common Pitfalls: What challenges should I be aware of during the installation and initial configuration?
Learning Curve: For someone new to storage virtualization, are there any resources or steps you suggest to better understand the platform?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and advice. Thanks in advance for helping a newcomer to the StarWind ecosystem!
