vCenter Plugin availability for the Free license ?

[dmytro (staff)]

Hello tryllz,

Thank you for your interest in our new product. We have found the cause of the issue and already applied the fix. Please re-download the StarWind SAN & NAS build from our website (the same link you have received previously), redeploy the appliance, and install the Center Plugin.

Please let me know should you need any assistance with the StarWind NAS & SAN product.

Best regards,

Hi Dmytro,

Its working now, only a small glitch, it says that I can add vCenter by FQDN or IP, but it does not accept FQDN nor does it allow to type FQDN manually as can bee seen below (pasted FQDN).

Also, I have 2 StarWind Appliance, I manage to install 1 and connect it to the vCenter, the other one when trying to connect to the same vCenter fails, is this normal, or can only 1 be connected ?



Logs attached.

The plugin installed on the 1st Storage Appliance does not appear within vCenter, and when I tried to open it from within the Storage appliance it shows nothing, vCneter rebooted, I'll reboot Storage Appliance as well and check again.

So as I understand, only 1 Starwind Appliance can be installed in vCenter at 1 time.

My apologies for the late reply.

Thank you for your report. Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is a product issue. I have already reported that issue to our Development team. I'll inform you once the update will be available.

Also, I have 2 StarWind Appliance, I manage to install 1 and connect it to the vCenter, the other one when trying to connect to the same vCenter fails, is this normal, or can only 1 be connected ?

Yes, only a single instance of the vCenter Plugin can be installed on and connected to vCenter at the given time. We have been developing functionality to manage two or more appliances at the same time. We have planned to release it in Q3.

Please let me know should you need any assistance with the StarWind NAS & SAN product.
