Hi Community,

I am coming an across issue when setting up an VVOL HA Datastore cluster in the test environment. I have two StarWind VMs running on Windows Server 2016. When running the following command to create a cluster, I came across the following. StarWIND VMs are running on VMWare Workstation Pro 15x. Each VM has two thin-provisioned VMDK files.

Any ideas

Cheers

Did you make sure to include Cluster Service as part of your StarWind VSAN installation?

I selected full installation during the wizard.
After installation, StarWind Cluster service does not start despite the fact that it is set to Automatic, and generates following error when started manually;

The StarWind Cluster Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.


The StarWind NVMe over Fabrics Target service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s).

We have some issues with VVoLs work with the current StarWind build.
The issue should be fixed with the next StarWind release:
