Creating a huge volume

[nimeijer]

Is it possible, using starwind and 2k8R2 (with or without clustering) to create an extendible disk volume?

We want to create a single volume/share to our end-users. It has to be HA too.

I've tried setting up this:

3 SW servers with an spanned volume disk set, than create a HA image file. Present this to a windows 2k8 server with iSCSI and let windows create another spanned volume of the iSCSI targets. So you have a huge volume which is extendible. The only problem with this set-up is that MS Cluster doesn't allow dynamic disks (needed for spanned volumes). It is possible to present this huge volume to end-users with a simple share, but than you end up with the default multi-access i/o problems.

any HOW-TO's?

You can create either a simple image file which can be extended if needed. The only problem with multiple users access is described in this thread: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/forums/ ... t1392.html
