Hi everyone,
I need to configure a StarWind Virtual SAN 2-node Hyperconverged Scenario with Vmware in two differnet site.
Each server has have 4 network adapters, 2 x 10 Gbit and 2 x 1 Gbit. Beetwen sites there are only 2 FC cable, 1 just in use and connected to 2 gigabit network switch with lot of free port, and the second available for a direct 10 Gbit connection beetwen my servers (cable is multimode and distance under 80 mt).
What are the best network configuration in this case?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to StarWind Forum. What is the latency going to be? Provided that it is lower than 5 ms, heartbeat strategy is good to be used. See the guide here https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... r-vsphere/
