I lodged a case with starwind support a week ago, and havent heard anything back #00009166. I tried using the latest version of v6 on new server equipment, I was unable to format any LUNS from vsphere 5.1 using emulex controllers. So rather than wait for a fix (ive used older versions of v6 without issues, but my luns are already formatted) I then switched to using the candidate release of version 8, and that formatted vmfs5 LUNS just fine, so you have fixed something in v8.
So after testing single starwind SAN luns for about a week with no real problems, I have now tried creating a HA device in v8 across two servers (both which work fine independently), but whenever I try create a HA device, the starwind management console hangs on that server and can no longer connect to that starwind server, because the service becomes unresponsive. They only way to get it to respond again is to stop the starwind service (which it complains it cant, at which starwind service seems to terminate nastily) and you then have to restart it. I have managed to crash both nodes trying different approaches to get a HA device onto either server. I have tried creating partner devices both using the replication manager, under clusters and even creating a device on the partner server first.
This is the result I get every time, how can this be fixed?
