Starwin Virtual SAN Setup Question
Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2017 1:04 pm
Hi
I am wanting to know if I can setup StarWinds VSAN as per this guide
https://www.starwindsoftware.com/techni ... luster.pdf
But not setup the Failover Cluster part and just connect the drives using iSCSI Targets.
Reason I want to know if this is possible as I have 2 Physical Nodes that I want to install StarWinds on and only use StarWinds VSAN for a HA File Server Cluster which I want to build to 2 Virtual Machines and make them into a Cluster using the File Server Role for a General File Server but also use the Physical Nodes to run 1 or two Virtual Machines that I don't to put on the same disks as StarWinds VSAN.
As I want to try and reduce the amount of Physical Servers and to use 2 Physical Servers just for StarWinds a a HA File Server Cluster is not economical due to cost but want to also use Hyper V to run other VMs.
Regards
Matthew
