Hello,

I am currently in the process of setting up StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) v8.0.0 (Build 15469) and integrating it with VMware VVOLs. My deployment environment includes StarWind Linux appliances. I have followed the installation and initial configuration steps as outlined in the StarWind documentation, and everything is working fine with HA LUNs.

However, I am now looking for guidance on the next steps, specifically regarding VVOLs integration:

VVOLs Integration: Properly setting up and managing VVOLs within the VMware environment and mapping them to StarWind data stores.
Could anyone provide detailed guidance or point me to relevant resources that can assist with these steps?

This is a homelab, using the free version of the software.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
JP

Greetings,

Sorry for such a delay.
StarWind CVM does not support vVols, and there are currently no plan for introducing its support.
