Hello,

I'm experimenting with your vSAN software on two test virtual machines, with a third as a firewall. Basically my objective is create a failover/HA vSAN with two physical pieces of hardware for use with a Hyper-V Failover Cluster.

Here is the setup:

- FIREWALL01 (pfSense 2.3.4)
- SAN01 (Windows 2012 R2, Domain Controller)
- SAN02 (Windows 2012 R2)

SAN01 and SAN02 have two virtual nics attached to the same virtual switch (172.30.1.0/24). Each nic has one static ip address assigned to it as follows:

SAN01 : 172.30.1.20, 172.30.1.21
SAN02 : 172.30.1.10, 172.30.1.11

Both servers are using FIREWALL01 as their gateway (172.30.1.1), DNS, and access to the internet. DHCP is not enabled.

SAN02 has been attached to the domain controller SAN01, and they're both resolvable on either box.

StarWind Free v8.0.0.11404 has been installed on both SAN01 and SAN02 for the purpose of this experiment and I have been following this PDF to the letter: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwi ... -v-cluster.

When I get to the part where you setup replication on the partner node, I am presented with this error:

When I check the server log, I see this:

Can anyone assist me with this?
