After upgrading to build 12166, using PowerShell to create HA device fails with the provided sample script. The server is Windows 2016 with 4k native backend storage.

Code: Select all

	$server = New-SWServer -host 172.17.62.11 -port 3261 -user root -password starwind

	$server.Connect()

	$firstNode = new-Object Node

	$firstNode.HostName = "172.17.62.11"
	$firstNode.ImagePath = "My computer\D\temp"
	$firstNode.ImageName = "masterImg21"
	$firstNode.Size = 12
	$firstNode.CreateImage = $true
	$firstNode.TargetAlias = "targetha21"
	$firstNode.AutoSynch = $true
	$firstNode.SyncInterface = "#p2=192.168.39.12:3260"
	$firstNode.HBInterface = "#p2=172.17.62.12:3260"
	$firstNode.PoolName = "default_pool"
	$firstNode.SyncSessionCount = 1
	$firstNode.ALUAOptimized = $true
    
	#
	# device sector size. Possible values: 512 or 4096(May be incompatible with some clients!) bytes. 
	#
	$firstNode.SectorSize = 4096
	
	#
	# 'SerialID' should be between 16 and 31 symbols. If it not specified StarWind Service will generate it. 
	# Note: Second node always has the same serial ID. You do not need to specify it for second node
	#
	$firstNode.SerialID = "4f30384e672654a2fbe5dc19c269be"
    
	$secondNode = new-Object Node

	$secondNode.HostName = "172.17.62.12"
	$secondNode.HostPort = "3261"
	$secondNode.Login = "root"
	$secondNode.Password = "starwind"
	$secondNode.ImagePath = "My computer\D\temp"
	$secondNode.ImageName = "partnerImg22"
	$secondNode.Size = 12
	$secondNode.CreateImage = $true
	$secondNode.TargetAlias = "partnerha22"
	$secondNode.AutoSynch = $true
	$secondNode.SyncInterface = "#p1=192.168.39.11:3260"
	$secondNode.HBInterface = "#p1=172.17.62.11:3260"
	$secondNode.SyncSessionCount = 1
	$secondNode.ALUAOptimized = $true
        
	$device = Add-HADevice -server $server -firstNode $firstNode -secondNode $secondNode -initMethod "Clear"
The device creation on the first node seem to complete with some error/warning.

The device serial ID configured in the script seems to be completely ignored by the host. The log indicated Sw_Disk_Header::Create did not get serial id and it failed to convert a string parameter to certain type enumeration (sw_common::Sw_XML_Storage_Impl::str2type: The "(null)" type is not supported.).

The generated image device header has the following. The sector size seems to be correctly set to 4096 per the script.

The image device creation on the secondary node completely fails. In addition to "sw_common::Sw_XML_Storage_Impl::str2type: The "(null)" type is not supported." error, we have an interesting error "Incompatible logical volume sector size (4096 > 512)!". It appears the sector size 4096 is completely ignored in creating the image file on the secondary node.

Looking at the image file header created by the process, it clearly indicates the wrong sector size.

Both nodes are running the exact same hardware. The backend storage is 4K native Seagate drives with Adaptec/Microsemi RAID controllers.

Is there any alternative way to create HA devices via PowerShell? Can we create the image devices on each node and then bind them together by creating the HA devices? I have also noticed a new Add-HADevice in the PowerShell module but there is no documentation on it at all.

Could you provide me with a link to the log bundles from both StarWind nodes? Use StarWind Log Collector to aggregate the bundles. It can be downloaded from https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware. ... collector/
You can PM me the link not to share it publicly.

I got the logs and will investigate the issue.
Will keep you and the community updated about the results.

zxu,

I have spoken to the guys from our R&D team and they have already introduced force-checking for the disk sector size for both nodes. This will be available in the next release of the StarWindX module, most likely with the next StarWind VSAN release.
As for the Serial Number parameter, for now it is ignored, and the serial number is generated automatically.
