Hello,

Im testing the starwind in my virtual environment, but when I try create a Pool, after select the disks the Profile screen is empty.
Could someone clarify if this is a problem ? Or a error from my side ?

My version is: StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) v8.0.0 (Build 19551)

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
UI does not allow creating the pool out of VMDK, VHDX, or VIRTIO devices. Please use pass-through or RDM to create the pool with the GUI.
You can also use each disk as an individual XFS volume.

As a workaround, you can create the MDADM pool with CLI, yet such a configuration will not be supported, I guess.

Good luck with your project.
p.s. make sure to check the system requirements and best practices if any production loads are planned.
