StarWind Software

Hi,

I am trying to build an VVol storage with Starwind vSAN. The binding has been done. The result of getVASAinfo:
instance of __PARAMETERS
{
ReturnValue = "Success";
serverCertificateHash = "444865XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX39D5";
VASAUrl = "https://192.168.XXX.XXX:9991/vasa";
};

I tried to access the url in web browser. vasa.vasa file can be downloaded.

Then I tried to register the storage provider in vCenter 8.0. But the certificate warning keeps popping up. What should I do to get this registration done?

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you let me know what happens if youpress "yes"?
Please look under troubleshooting section https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... iew-guide/

Thanks for reply.

The article you provided was the one I followed. I click Yes, the warning showed up again. that's the problem.

Just FYI, I have tried this on 3 vCenter8.0 servers. one of them are newly installed. Same result.

Were all of them vCenter 8?

Today, I rebuilt the starwind cluster from scratch. I followed the guide step by step. But I still got the error (warning keeps showing).
Is starwind vSan's VASA working on VCSA8?

yep. all VCSA 8.0.

Hi,
Just wanted to make sure that I understood your question correctly.
You were able to activate the VASA provider, but the certificate keeps popping up, am I reading it right?
Also, are you using StarWind VSAN for vSphere (i.e., a VM deployed from the OVF template), or a Windows-based installation?

Hi,

Actually I downloaded the vSphere version first. But I went back to Windows based installation since I was unable to find any guide for VVOL on Linux-based appliance. If there is any doc for Linux-based appliance building VVOL, please share it with me. I can have a try. Thanks.

Anyways, now I am using the excact some configuration in https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... iew-guide/. And the problem is:
1. Add a new storage provider.
2. Type in the url, username. password.
3. Click OK.
4. The Security Alert shows up.
5. Click Yes.
6. A few seconds later, the same Security Alert shows up again.
7. Click Yes again. The same Security Alert shows up again again.
Dead end.
If I click No, it goes back to New Storage Provider page. Feels like VCSA does not accept the certificage Starwind's VASA is using.

Thanks,

John

Sorry for the delay. Could you please share the logs from

Hi,

I have uploaded the logs at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pg8JNM ... sp=sharing.

There are 2 nodes as the guide. I run the commands on node 1 except the ones which were marked to run on node 2.

Thanks.
