StarWind Software

Hello everybody,

I'm a bit frustrated with my situation. I have 2 ESXi hosts and free StarWind version installed on dedicated server. Both 2 my ESXi hosts has 1 TB SSD storage. I want to use StarWind to create HA storage to build VmWare HA cluster.

However, reading documentation, I see that every tutorial suppose to create virtual disk and store it as image file on StarWind dedicated server and attach to ESXi by iSCSI. But I want to use my SSD storages on ESXi hosts. Is that possible?

Thank you in advance for your answering.

I have almost exactly the same setup up and running. A nice guide for such a configuration is here:

Notice that it can not be done with a free version.

To be able to use internal SSD drives on your ESX hosts, you have to install StarWind Virtual SAN inside VM's on each of ESX hosts and then mirror these. This is generally called VMWare Hyper-Converged Scenario.

Darklight already provided a link to a proper guide, thank you!
