Starwind vSAN Free vSphere ESXI Synchronizing stuck at 0%

Hi,

I was wondering about the same issue (disk error 25), when creating a new HA via PowerShell script.



There seems to be a difference between CVM and Windows as it seems.

I am using the CVM. It nevertheless shows a Windows style path with a drive letter.

It won't sync with Clear and Cache mode set to none. It will instead be stuck at 0%.

To resolve it I can set the initMode to SyncFromFirst or set cacheMode to wb for example.

But, the documentation for the Hyper-V CVM (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... chine-cvm/) has a script using the combination of Clear and No cache mode. So it won't work.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your feedback.
sync_from_first is to be used and it is a known problem.
It should be addressed in the next build. Typically the event you shared points to the storage issues, however, here there might be difficulties with header/image creation that explains why only sync_from_first works.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

I hope it sheds some light on the logging. Also, in the context of logging, I'd like to share with you this KB https://www.starwindsoftware.com/help/E ... dVSAN.html

p.s. in CVM we plan integration with Zabbix. Stay tuned.
