Error in Powershell script for creating HA device 2 nodes

[Alpanet]

Hi to everybody,
when I tried to use the sample script to create a 2 nodes HaDevice I recieved this error:

"Plugin does not support."

Anybody can help me please?


Thaks a lot

Hello Alpanet,
Thanks for interesting in StarWind solution.
As far as I can see in your script you typed the wrong Image path:

Code: Select all

$firstNode.ImagePath = "Host1\C\StarWindHA"

Should be:

Code: Select all

$firstNode.ImagePath = "My Computer\C\StarWindHA"

Or:

Code: Select all

$firstNode.ImagePath = "C:\StarWindHA"

Please, make this changes in example script and try one more time.
Keep us updated about it.

[Alpanet]

Hi Ivan,
sorry for the late answer but I just tried your advice but the result seems the same:

PS C:\Users\adm> C:\Users\adm\Documents\CreateHA2nodes.ps1
Exception Plugin does not support.

Can you help me?

Thank a lot

Andrea

Hello Alpanet,
Try this one:
create the folder on C: drive. Without ##IP FROM SECOND NODE and ##IP FROM FIRST NODE
Also, make sure you have enough space for this device

Code: Select all

Hi Ivan,
sorry but I had an accident and I returned in office only yesterday...
Thanks for your reply but i don't understand what you mean when you said:
"create the folder on C: drive." : the folder is already created on both hosts
and when you said:
"Without ##IP FROM SECOND NODE and ##IP FROM FIRST NODE" I dont understand which part of code I have to remove...

Sorry but I am new with this technologies...

Thanks a lot for your support

Andrea

Hi Ivan,
I tried this but the result is the same:
"Exception Plugin does not support."

I launched this script from a Win10 pc Powershell ISE in the same subnet 192.168.1.0
What I got wrong?

Thanks a lot for your patience

Hello Alpanet,
To do it properly you need to install StarWind vSAN on your desktop PC (I suppose) and change 127.0.0.1 to the management IP from first host (which will be primary).
Try to run this script directly on Host which will be used to vSAN.
Also, I would recommend to update StarWind vSAN to the latest build, which you can find by following next link:
