vSAN Free @ Proxmox - not connecting after host restart

dwma · Fri Aug 22, 2025 5:31 am

Hi,
I'm testing Starwind VSAN Free on Proxmox 8.4.5 (3-node cluster).
I've noticed, that after host restart, at least the restarted host is not connecting to its own vSAN after it'll become alive again. Most probably it's because proxmox is connecting to all iscsi sessions at the start, but before StarWind vSAN VM. Is there any way to solve this problem in a clean way?

Also is there any ETA when ZFS will be upgraded to v2.3? Because currently it's not possible to expand existing raidz.

For the rescan, check this out viewtopic.php?t=6899.
For ZFS, we hope to introduce the fix later, sometime early next year.

Could you share more about how you configured the nodes in your cluster?
