StarWind Software

I hate to admit it, but the options I am looking for seem to be not where I am expecting. We've been running a 2 server HA setup with multiple HA targets for a few years now. I've finally been able to start replacing some Platter drives with SSD's and am trying to create to HA targets and devices.

I used to be able to choose an advanced device and choose HA, now I don't seem to have that option. Where is the HA choices in v8?

This doc is what I remember, pg 6 and on https://www.starwindsoftware.com/images ... yper-V.pdf

In v8 you just create a standalone device and then convert it to HA by replicating to another server using replication manager.

Thanks for that.

Trying to create a device, choose thin and set my options, when choosing location and the window opens I have nothing displayed. If I manually enter a location and walk through the wizard I will get "failed to create device" . Same for either node.

I can create a disk bridge device though without any issue.

Maybe that's your case?

Thanks, not sure how I didn't come across that while I was digging. Got a little further than ran into some more issues with Starwind before I could finally get through the replication manager wizard.

I wonder if alot of it stems from just upgrading previous versions since we started with Starwind. Either way we'll see this winter as I am hoping to refresh our 2 Disk Nodes with an upgrade form '08 to 2012R2 and maybe a little RAM increase.

Nice to see a two disk SSD RAID1 using half my 10Gb channel for sync.

The reason you are getting a half of your sync performance is that your SSDs are most probably connected through SATA3 interface which can only handle up to 6GBps throughput.

Anything here left unresolved that I could help with?
