Hello InphinitePhractals,
Basic steps are:
1. Open Failover Cluster Manager and move all storage from
the second node to
the first node.
2. Open StarWind Management console (if exists).
3. Check synchronization status of StarWind devices. In case, your StarWind Management Console is expired you need to run PS script GetHASyncState.ps1 and modify following strings for HAImage name and iqn.
Code: Select all
$deviceName = "HAImage1"
$partnerTargetName = "iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:192.168.1.156-partnerha1"
4. If all devices are Synchronized, open the PowerShell as Admin and type "net stop starwindservice" on
the second node.
5. Open Services and change startup mode of StarWind VSAN Service from
automatic to
disabled on the second node.
6. Turn off
the second server and replace the NIC.
7. Power it back and specify the same IP for iSCSI and Sync channels.
8. Try to ping iSCSI and SYNC channels between the servers.
9. If communication works fine you can change the startup mode of StarWind VSAN Service from "disabled" to "automatic" and start StarWind service.
10. After above steps please confirm that the sync process completed and check that all targets in iSCSI initiator are connected.
11. Repeat the steps 1-10 for another node
Meanwhile, could you please specify the current NIC throughput (iSCSI and Sync) and throughput of new NIC?
Also, as far as I remember you have the commercial license of StarWind. Please feel free to contact StarWind support directly and our engineers will be more than happy to assist you with this operation.
Thank you.
