3 Node VSAN - Active-Active Synchronous + Asynchronous
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2020 7:07 pm
Can I configure StarWind VSAN Free with 3 physical VSAN servers as such:
Two of them as a synchronous two-way active-active replication and a third offsite as an asynchronous one-way replication for continuous disaster backup of the data contained on the primary active-active pair?
If yes, is it as simple as choosing the applicable replication method on each?
Note: Windows based. Compute and storage on separate layers.
I have been very happily using StarWind VSAN Free successfully for the past 3 years as a Windows compute and storage separate with 2 VSAN storage servers and 5 Hyper-V compute servers. I am adequately knowledgeable on its setup and use. I am now upgrading for larger storage and performance and would love to incorporate a 3rd mirror offsite for disaster recovery (I have an offsite dark fiber connection configured for 10 Gig)
Thank you,
Brent
